Question

Sojourner Truth’s “pint and quart” comparisons in paragraphs 3 and 8 add to the development of her speech mainly by fill in the blank___________.

If my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?

As for intellect, all I can say is, if a woman have a pint, and a man a quart—why can't she have her little pint full? You need not be afraid to give us our rights for fear we will take too much—for we can't take more than our pint'll hold.

Answer 2

I think the answer is A. Suggesting that men have nothing to worry about if women are as unintelligent as they believe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sojourner Truth is not talking about how women become as smart as men if they are granted equal rights. She isn’t critiquing the wealth in America; she’s talking about rights. She’s not complaining about anything either, so that leaves us with A.
