II. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

When it comes to marriage the timing is not the same for everyone. Although society usually puts pressure on individuals to get married and start a family early, over the years, people have had many reasons to get married later in life. All over the world, people of all genders have more access to higher education now than ever. This results in people choosing to focus on their careers and delaying marriage. Also, the fact that many young people start living alone at an early age makes them develop high levels of independence. As a result, they do not see the need to commit to a partner. Women in particular no longer feel the urge to get married fast. They instead spend more of their youthful days pursuing opportunities to become more financially independent.

Financial stability is also a factor. A lot of people in their twenties are not financially stable enough to run a home and fulfill the responsibilities that come with starting a family - after all, simply organizing a wedding is already quite an expensive effort. That much financial pressure can be detrimental to most relationships. As a result, many people decide to wait until they are financially ready before tying the knot. Nowadays, many couples prefer to live together before getting married, which provides an opportunity to experience marriage life without commitment and to figure out whether they really suit each other. This is especially made possible as a modern society now accepts these sorts of living arrangements.
