Question

3 Very little in the way of progress came from the Seneca Falls Declaration, although it would serve

for the next seventy years as the goal for which the suffrage movement strove. Women's suffrage
and nearly all of the other reforms of this era were swallowed up by the single issue of slavery and
its abolition, and women did not receive the right to vote until the adoption of the Nineteenth
Amendment to the Constitution in 1920.
According to the passage, what is the relationship between the movement for women's rights
and the abolition of slavery?
Only a few women became involved with both of these concerns because they were too committed to their
housework.
The movement for women's rights received less attention at the time because many people were more
interested and involved in the slavery issue.
The abolition of slavery became more important to most of the women than the issue of their rights.
Women were not allowed to attend any meetings where the issue of slavery was to be discussed.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. The movement for women's rights received less attention at the time because many people were more interested and involved in the slavery issue.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage explains the issue of slavery and the struggle for abolition prevailed over women's movement and any other movement of the time. This is stated in "Women's suffrage ... were swallowed up by the single issue of slavery and its abolition." Moreover, the author explains due to the importance of the abolition over women's suffrage, abolition occurred before women were given the right to vote. In this context, abolitIon and women's right are related because women's right received less attention during the time as the focus was on abolition (option B.)
