Approximately 7.6 million women who earn incomes have preschool-age ch

Hello,
Here are the facts

Women with preschool age children = 7.6 mill
Women who are Sole bringers of money = 6.4 mill

We do not know the proportion of sole bringers vs ones where the men also bring in money.
The probable results therefore are these.
1. 6.4 million of the sole bringers of money COULD be in fact a part of the 7.6 million women with preschool age children; i.e. MOST of the 7.6 women with children are sole bringers of money.
2. A portion of the 6.4 million of the sole bringers of money could constitute a small to substantial part of the 7.6 million
3. the 6.4 million women who are sole bringers of money may be exclusive of this set -> ie. ALL the 7.6 million women with children are with men who bring money as well.


Therefore the conclusion that "relatively few women are in families where the man brings in money too" may not necessarily be true.
Option B does exactly this.

Hope that helps.

I don't like the answer either. in the stimulus what's the meaning of "comparatively few", compare to what?

I do not see where the overlap may exist.

We have a group of women with preschool age children = 7.6 mill
6.4 mill women who are sole bringers of money
1.2 million women who earn incomes and are not the sole income earners for their families.

Where is the overlap.....
