Hence answer is B) She cites "nature and nature's God, and finds "self evident truths to be relevant and important.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author of the "Declaration of Sentiments" uses the structure of the first paragraph of the "Declaration of Independence" to make her own points and express her beliefs.

In the first paragraph of the "Declaration of Sentiments," the author cites "nature and nature's God" and states that all men and women are created equal, similar to how the "Declaration of Independence" cites "Nature's God" and asserts that all men are created equal.

However, the author of the "Declaration of Sentiments" focuses attention on the rights and grievances of women, unlike the "Declaration of Independence" which focuses on the rights of all men.
