Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer for each of the questions.
Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men. Discrimination against women in
business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of
women entrepreneurs small. Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than
$40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s. As
Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was
the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the
woman entrepreneur". What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more
women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles.
Women are still excluded from most executive suites. Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant,
had noted, "In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become
chairman of the board. Now they've found out that isn't going to happen, so they go out on their
own".
In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics and clothing, for
example. But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer
