Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.
For decades, governments have passed laws and companies have made promises to create equal opportunities for everyone. Yet the numbers tell a different story. According to the World Economic Forum, at the current rate of progress, it will take over 130 years to close the global gender pay gap completely.
The workplace is where this inequality is most clearly seen. Women who work full-time are still paid, on average, 20% less than men in similar jobs. What makes this particularly surprising is that the gap grows larger when women reach their thirties — exactly the time when many become mothers. Researchers call this the "motherhood penalty," which suggests that the costs of raising children are not shared equally between parents.
Yet the problem goes beyond salaries. In politics, women hold less than 27% of parliamentary seats around the world, even though they make up half the population. In the business world, only a small number of the world's largest companies are run by female leaders, and this figure has hardly changed in ten years. Many experts believe that if practical support was provided — such as affordable childcare and flexible working hours — these numbers would improve significantly.
What is still unclear, however, is whether society truly wants things to change, or whether talking about equality has simply become easier than actually achieving it.
The word "progress" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
The word "they" in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
What can be inferred about the "practical support" mentioned in paragraph 3?
