Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #34833 Short Gender Gap

Instructions ›

Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

Research suggests ADHD is three to four times more likely to be detected in childhood in boys as they tend to exhibit more disruptive behaviors. The symptoms in girls tend to be more subtle: less hyperactive, more inattentive. The diagnoses gap between males and females appears to shrink in adulthood, but psychologists say the bias can remain. The ADHD Foundation says increased awareness is needed in health and educational settings about how the condition can present differently. A late diagnosis can negatively impact on relationships, careers, and mental health. In England, NICE guidance has been updated to make it easier for doctors to detect women and girls with ADHD. Work to improve neuro developmental services is underway in Scotland and Wales. But there are currently no dedicated services for adults with ADHD in Northern Ireland.

What will happen in people whose ADHD is diagnosed later on in life?

Option 4: "They can’t deal with their work well."

Explanation: This option correctly reflects the consequences of a late ADHD diagnosis as mentioned in the text. It states that a late diagnosis can negatively impact relationships, careers, and mental health, which logically supports the idea that individuals may struggle with their work.

Option 1: "They will be less hyperactive and more inattentive."

Explanation: This option incorrectly describes the symptoms of ADHD in girls rather than addressing the consequences of a late diagnosis. The text states that symptoms in girls are more subtle, but it does not imply that late diagnosis leads to being less hyperactive or more inattentive.

Option 2: "They tend to show some disruptive actions."

Explanation: While the text mentions that boys exhibit more disruptive behaviors, it does not state that individuals diagnosed later in life will show disruptive actions. This option misrepresents the context of the text, which focuses on the implications of late diagnosis rather than behavior.

Option 3: "The diagnoses gap between different gender continues to increase."

Explanation: The text indicates that the diagnoses gap between males and females shrinks in adulthood, contradicting this option. Therefore, this statement is factually incorrect based on the information provided.
