Answer 1

Explanation: Paragraph 8 contributes to the development of ideas in the text by showing how the claims of the United States government differ from its practices. The paragraph highlights the contradiction between the government's claim of promoting democracy and equality, and its denial of women's right to vote. It discusses how the government's actions undermine the principles it espouses, stating that the denial of women's suffrage contradicts the ideals of a democratic society. This contrast between the government's claims and its actual practices helps to emphasize the need for the women's suffrage movement and the ongoing struggle for equal rights. Therefore, option A. "It shows how the claims of the United States government differ from its practices" is the correct answer
