Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Reading the news these days is often a depressing and anxiety inducing task. Mass shooting pipe bombs, assassinations, and - over it all - climate change haunt the discussion. The sources of these modern human malignancies are generally the same: male leaders who want to maintain economic, political, and religious power no matter the cost. It begs the question: Might women rule differently from men?
Cognitive scientists know that the female brain is different from the male. Women are less likely to commit mass murder, less inclined to start a war, more likely to be in touch with and express their emotions, and more interested nuance, rather than decisiveness.
History shows that the Egyptians knew that women ruled differently from men. And so they used them to protect the patriarchy, to act as stopgaps, placeholders, until the next man could fill the top spot on the social pyramid. But no matter how much power they held, even though many of them were called nothing less than King, these formidable women of ancient Egypt were not able to transcend the patriarchal agenda and change the system itself. When their reigns ended, the masculine Egyptian power structure remained intact.
These queens call out from the past, challenging us to place women into political power, not as representatives of a patriarchal dynasty, but as women who serve their own, different agendas of social connection and emotional cohesion, instead of aping the aggression of their fathers, brothers, and sons.
The word "them" in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. women
B. Egyptians
C. men
D. emotions
