    IQ, the most widely used measure of(4)_____ and is determined based on the difference between one’s IQ score and the(5)_____ IQ score of a certain age group.

选项 A、wage
B、age
C、achievement
D、communication
答案 A
解析 前面说到女性开始抹平了与男性在IQ测试得分上的差距，此处用了表示假设的if only“要是……就好了”。年龄差距和沟通差距，是人与人之间客观存在的，不可能填平这些差距；由上文第一段可知，女性在学术上的表现更优于男性，故不能说她们要缩小“成就差距”；最有可能消除的是工资差距，A为最佳选项。
