Answer 2

C Quick Answer

Her religious background in the main body of the what was given establishes her as a Quaker. If that's all she was, she would have been forgotten 10 years after her death. D is almost irrelevant: it is not the answer.

B is true but the main body of the excerpt is much more concerned with why she broke "the law" and voted.

A
That could have been put somewhere in the paragraph, but it is not a good conclusion.

C is right because after her death, what she worked tirelessly to achieve came to pass with the passage of the 19th amendment.

The most enslaved people in the world for the longest period of time is definitely women. The 19th Amendment was part of a needed change in world (male) thinking.
