Question

in 2007, 28 percent of doctors in the united states were women. in 2010, the number was 30 percent. these statistics could be used to support which statement about gender roles in the united states? traditional cultural beliefs are returning restrictive cultural views are lessening gender equality has been reached gender inequality is worsening

Explanation:

The percentage of women doctors increased from 28% in 2007 to 36% in 2010. This shows that more women are entering the medical field, which implies that the restrictive cultural views (that might have previously limited women's entry into certain professions like being a doctor) are lessening. Gender equality has not been reached as it's not 50 - 50 (assuming equal numbers of men and women doctors would be a sign of equality in this context). Gender inequality is not worsening as the percentage of women is increasing. Traditional cultural beliefs (which might have kept women out of the profession) are not returning as the trend is towards more women in the field.

Answer:

restrictive cultural views are lessening
