Answer: C

Answer to #5

B

Answer to #6

Answer: Research has suggested that women are more likely than men to start out in entry-level positions, even though they have the same educational qualifications as men. In the 1980s, the term glass ceiling was first used in a Wall Street Journal article to refer to the invisible barrier that separates women and minorities from top management positions. The idea of a ceiling means that there is something blocking upward movement and the idea of glass is that whatever's blocking the way isn't immediately apparent.
Research on the glass ceiling has looked at identifying the organizational practices and interpersonal biases that have blocked women's advancement. Findings from those studies have ranged from lack of mentoring, sex stereotyping, views that associate masculine traits with leader effectiveness, and bosses' perceptions of family-work conflict.
