The author of the passage is concerned that

  1. medical schools practice widespread discrimination on the basis of sex
  2. feelings of isolation among women medical students are partly the result of social stereotypes
  3. some medical school policies are deliberately designed to make women students feel isolated
  4. social norms must change before institutional bias can decline

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The author's purpose is to show readers that although increasing numbers of women are enrolling in medical school, they still face disadvantages arising from societal issues.





The author cites factual information in support of which of the following contentions?

  1. Women students have more negative experiences in medical school than male students.
  2. Medical schools are moving rapidly to eliminate the effects of sexual bias.
  3. Many women are psychologically damaged by the feelings of alienation in medical school.
  4. Many women medical students feel a need for officially sponsored support services.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The correct answer refers to the only hard data given, the 48 percent of women who reported that a student support group is "the most important support service a school can provide." The wrong choices not only lack factual support; they are points the author does not make at all.





The passage suggests that which of the following would be likely to reduce the isolation felt by women medical students?

  1. An increased proportion of women in medical schools.
  2. A decrease in the number of women filling faculty positions in medical schools.
  3. A decrease in support services available to women students.
  4. A more complete segregation between men and women in medical schools.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

This question asks us to identify initiatives or developments which would reduce the sense of isolation felt by female medical students. The correct answer is supported by the first sentence of paragraph 2. As women increasingly enter medical schools, they "may feel less at odds with their peers and the teaching establishment."





In terms of its tone and form, the passage is most appropriately described as

  1. an impassioned polemic
  2. an indignant protest
  3. a reasoned appeal
  4. a detached summary

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The question asks about both tone and content. The tone of the passage is neutral; the author summarizes facts, cites a statistic, and does not use charged or emotional diction. The content, however, is not disinterested; the author definitely advocates changes -- medical schools should not "wait passively" for society to change but should do more to address the problems of "current students." The correct answer is the choice that best fits this combination of a quiet, persuasive tone and clear-cut advocacy.
