Today, some men are “wanting to further their careers but also wanting to spend time with their children,” so their feelings about the traditional working arrangement are mixed or complex. “Ambivalent” and “equivocal” match the idea of mixed feelings. Note trap answer “ambiguous,” which means “unclear” and is more appropriate for describing a situation or statement than a person. The remaining choices are each unpaired: “stolid” means unemotional, “whimsical” has a positive meaning (fanciful or playful) and a negative meaning (capricious or erratic), and “officious” means domineering or intrusive.
Answer: D,E
