Read the following passage and mark A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Marriage nowadays is a choice people make on their own, but this has not always been the case in society. Thousands of years ago, the average lifespan was shorter than it is today. A man usually lived until he was about 40 years old, while women died even sooner because of childbirth. There were many wars and illnesses, and people had to protect themselves by having more children while they were still young. The parents lived through their children.
Marriage was not so much a romantic love story but a business transaction, or deal. Most marriages were arranged between parents while their children were still very young. It was the custom that the fathers made the decision on whom their children were going to marry. The mothers had little say in it since they rarely made any decisions outside the household. The fathers would meet to arrange the wedding date and the money given for the bride on her wedding date. The more money and land a girl had, the more chances she had to marry well. Therefore, it was important that her father choose the bridegroom very well. Usually, it was someone who came from a good family or who was rich too. It was very unlikely that people married outside their social class. A few well-off and rich merchants got to marry poorer noblewomen and became King’s business advisors. In a way, poor peasants had an easier choice as it was less important whom they married.
The practice of arranged marriage is still common in some countries in the Middle East, such as India or Pakistan. Here, social classes are still strongly divided and very well-kept. Often, however, arranged marriages are a sign that people do not want to let go of the past, which gives them comfort and security in an ever-changing world.
Question 22. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The practice of arranged marriage.
B. Marriage as a business transaction today.
C. Mothers' roles in their children's marriage.
D. Marriage practices in modern society.

A. marriage B. a choice C. society D. the average lifespan Question 24. According to paragraph 1, women died even sooner than men because of ______.

A. Men made almost all decisions inside the family B. People tended to marry outside their social class C. Marriage used to be a deal between two families D. The wedding date was decided by the fathers

A. bridesmaid B. bride C. daughter-in-law D. son-in-law
