Answer:
Women choose lesser goals for themselves
Explanation:
In Laura Cereta's Defense of the Liberal Instruction of Women, the reason she gave for why there are so few intellectual women in Renaissance Italy is that "Women choose lesser goals for themselves."
This is evident from the letter written by Laura Cereta on January 13, 1488, where she claimed that "...And here choice alone, since it is the arbiter of character, is the distinguishing factor. For some women worry about the styling of their hair, the elegance of their clothes, and the pearls and other jewelry they wear on their fingers. Others love to say cute little things, to hide their feelings behind a mask of tranquility, to indulge in dancing, and to lead pet dogs around on a leash. For all I care, other women can long for parties with carefully appointed tables, for the peace of mind of sleep, or they can yearn to deface with paint the pretty face they see reflected in their mirrors..."

"The Battle of Fort Henry was fought on February 6, 1862, in Donelson, Stewart County, Tennessee, during the American Civil War. It was the first important victory for the Union and Brig. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant in the Western Theater."
"On February 4 and 5, Grant landed two divisions just north of Fort Henry on the Tennessee River. (The troops serving under Grant were the nucleus of the Union's successful Army of the Tennessee, although that name was not yet in use.[3]) Grant's plan was to advance upon the fort on February 6 while it was being simultaneously attacked by Union gunboats commanded by Flag Officer Andrew Hull Foote. A combination of accurate and effective naval gunfire, heavy rain, and the poor siting of the fort, nearly inundated by rising river waters, caused its commander, Brig. Gen. Lloyd Tilghman, to surrender to Foote before the Union Army arrived."
"The surrender of Fort Henry opened the Tennessee River to Union traffic south of the Alabama border. In the days following the fort's surrender, from February 6 through February 12, Union raids used ironclad boats to destroy Confederate shipping and railroad bridges along the river. On February 12, Grant's army proceeded overland 12 miles (19 km) to engage with Confederate troops in the Battle of Fort Donelson."

Washington's response to the Whiskey Rebellion considered by many an overreaction because there was no organized insurrection requiring such a large mobilization of federal military power.
Option: A
Explanation:
Whiskey's rebellion occurred in the year of 1794 and due to the imposed excise tax on whiskey. Western farmers strongly oppose the new excise tax on whiskey. It was a first large protest movement against the tax on Whiskey after federal government.
Actually there was no perfect order or organized insurrection to resurrect such large mobilization of federal military power. In the constitution it was the first large scale significant movement after federal government. Whiskey's tax was introduced by Hamilton.
