B. Read the following passage and answer the following questions about gender roles.
Gender Differences
It is true, mean and women are very different beings. Even with numerous differences. It’s quite
possible that communication styles top the list. While both men and women communicate to share
information, the similarities basically stop there.
When men communicate, they do so primarily to discuss ideas and to solve problems. They are more
likely than women to dominate the conversation in social settings. Men also tend to interrupt other
more often than women.
Women, on the other hand, communicate with the purpose of building relationships. They are more
likely than men to allow interruptions and often are less assertive than men. On the other hand,
women often communication in a manner that is more warm, friendly and understanding than the way
men communicate.
It’s no wonder men and women have difficulties understanding one another. Their communication
styles are completely different and if they are not aware of it, it could cause problems in their
relationship whatever kind it is.
