Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention. Read carefully.

“The captivity of the perpetrator seemed to be the way to calm down the residents of the building as they all smiled a real smile after the crime. Although many of them were sighing relief, there was one thing that they all missed and it was that the perpetrator caught was a part of the gang and the gang could come and attack again”, the teacher ended his story and looked around in the bundled up group of children, as his motive to intimidate them seeped in. However, in the many there was a girl who raised her hand and with a nod from the teacher, went on to speak,” Sir, even if there is another attack, the same good people will catch the gang and put them away.  Won’t they?” Little Rune’s remark may have caused her to be insulted further in the class that day and yet, when she shared her incident with her father at home, he replied “Yes, my dear. They will be caught, again. You know how you can make sure of it? By being one of the good guys who catches the perpetrators.” That sparked up little Rune and made her join the police force.  

It was not an easy task for Rune to train as females already had a lower voice and standing in their place. But she still did it, unperturbed by the disgruntled looks and sly remarks thrown at her. When the army rejected her application without even looking at it and only by looking at her, she almost broke down and cried for a while in her bed. Then, one day as a pickpocket was running away from other women at the town market, she held him, beat him and made him confess and apologize. She decided she needn’t be in the army or police force to do what she loves, she can do so without them. And she did.
What is the meaning of the phrase “lower voice and standing” in the given passage?
1). Not having valid points
2). Having not enough argument to forward
3). Not being given equal right to speak

The answer is not given equal right to speak which is the meaning of the given phrase. The other options are not the answer because they do not exactly mean inequality of standing and are formed vaguely. Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.
