d) 1924

Answer 1

Women in the United States were granted the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, influenced by their contributions during World War I and international movements for women's suffrage.

Step-by-step explanation:

Women in the United States were granted the right to vote in 1920. This came as a result of the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which explicitly prohibited the denial of the right to vote on the basis of sex. The amendment was passed by Congress in June 1919 and was ratified by the necessary number of states in August 1920, ensuring that women could participate in the presidential election of that year. The push for women's voting rights was influenced by their contributions during World War I, as well as the fact that women in other countries were gaining suffrage rights around the same period.
