Question 1 of 10

Which statement from the "Equal Pay Bill" letter is most clearly based on a

stereotype?

A. Let the marketplace determine what free-market forces should

prevail.

B. It is not the role of government to dictate to businesses what they

should pay anyway, either as a Minimum Wage or Equal Pay for

men and women.

O C. If that happens, then men will have an even more difficult time

earning enough to support their families, which will mean more

Mothers will be forced to leave the home.

D. If businesses are forced to pay women the same as male

earnings, that means they will have to reduce the pay for the men

they employ, simple economics.

Answer 1

The statement from the 'Equal Pay Bill' letter that is most clearly based on a stereotype is option C: 'If that happens, then men will have an even more difficult time earning enough to support their families, which will mean more Mothers will be forced to leave the home.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement from the 'Equal Pay Bill' letter that is most clearly based on a stereotype is option C: 'If that happens, then men will have an even more difficult time earning enough to support their families, which will mean more Mothers will be forced to leave the home.'

This statement is based on the stereotype that men are the primary earners in the family, while women are the primary caregivers. It assumes that if women earn equal pay to men, it will negatively impact men's ability to provide for their families and force mothers to leave the home.
