Answer 1

Answer: Women were more likely to recognize the injustice around them, often being victims themselves.

Women were more likely to fall under the spell of the Second Great Awakening preacher.

Explanation: Based on historical records and analysis, the following options are likely reasons why many social reform movements of the early nineteenth century were led by women:

Women were more likely to recognize the injustice around them, often being victims themselves.

Women were more likely to fall under the spell of the Second Great Awakening preacher.

The option "women held most of the nation's disposable income which movements needed for success" is not an accurate explanation for why women led social reform movements, as women did not generally hold most of the nation's disposable income during this time period.

The option "women were expanding their power in society after gaining the right to vote" is also not a valid reason as women did not gain the right to vote until the early 20th century, well after the social reform movements of the early nineteenth century had already occurred.
