The passage states that "today, over _____ percent of mothers of school-age children in the United States are in the workforce." The answer choices given are 50, 25, and 90, but none of them would fit in the blank with "percent of mothers" to represent a significant portion of the population. Therefore, the only answer choice that would work is C)70, as this represents a majority of mothers of school-age children in the workforce.
