Question

Question 1.

Read the following passages carefully before you choose your answer.

Passage One

This passage is taken from Some Reasons Why We Oppose Votes for Women from National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage.

"Why we oppose votes for women … because the great advance of women in the last century—moral, intellectual, and economic—has been made without the vote; which goes to prove that it is not needed for further advancement along the same lines."

Passage Two

This passage is taken from George Washington Burnap's The Sphere and Duties of Woman.

"We now see women in that sphere for which she was originally intended and which she is so exactly fitted to adorn and bless, as the wife, the mistress of the home, the solace, the aid, and the counselor of the ONE, for whose sake alone the world is any consequence to her."

Compared to the first passage, the second passage

A.) supports Passage One's claim
B.) opposes Passage One's claim
C.) summarizes Passage One's claim
D.) is unrelated to Passage One's claim

Answer 1

Answer: B.)opposes Passage One's claim

Step-by-step explanation:

The second passage opposes the first passage's claim. The first passage argues that women have made great advances without the right to vote and therefore do not need it for further advancement. However, the second passage states that women belong in the home as wives, mistresses, solace, aid, and counselors to men. This belief is contrary to the idea that women should have the right to vote and participate in political life.
