Answer: Refine his research question and look for more focused resources.
Explanation: As per the question, the most beneficial succeeding step in the writing process for Dominic would include 'refining his research question and look for more focused resources'. 'Refining the research question' would assist in directing the research more specifically and qualitatively while 'looking for more focused resources' would help in presenting the more authentic claims and relevant evidence that would support and substantiate his claims and establish the credibility of his paper.
The theme of the piece would be women are suffering and there does not seem to be any relief in sight. The only plausible answer is option A or option B, but the words 'they are more patient' in option A is a little bit of unsupported generalization rather than a theme, so i'd pick B.
hope this helps
