Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

According to this excerpt, the reason why women were denied the right to vote in the early 1800 is because “society believed they were not competent enough to understand certain issues”. Evidence can be found in the excerpt that supports this answer “Women were considered ill-suited to decide upon matters of politics”.

The text does not make reference to the number of women that would vote. Besides, the text does not indicate that women were not qualified to run a public office. And finally, the text does not show that women would not follow their domestic responsibilities if they voted.

Therefore, the correct answer is B).
