Which verb best completes the sentence?
pantera1 [17]
<span>Some of the students <u>h</u><u>ave been</u> applying to out-of-state colleges.

It cannot be 'had' because it says <em>applying. 
</em>It cannot be 'has been' either because it says <em>Some of the students. </em>(Has doesn't match plural verbs)<em>
</em></span>

With which statement would Susan B. Anthony most likely agree?
Blababa [14]

Susan B. Anthony was arrested and tied in 1872 for voting in the presidential election. After which she delivered the speech on "Woman's Rights to the Suffrage" in 1873. In her speech, she justifies that she had not done any crime by voting as it is her citizen right. Also, in her speech, she represents the rights of women in voting. Women in 1800 had few rights that they could practice. Through her tone of persuasiveness and serious, she states "Every discrimination against women in the constitutions and laws of the several States is today null and void, precisely as in every one against Negroes." Its because of her that today women have freedom.

“Are women persons? Being persons, then, women are citizens, and no State has a right to make any new law, or to enforce any old law, which shall abridge their privileges or immunities.", The question was repeated throughout her speech. Such use of diction and language asserted her point of view and reflected upon her higher education and that she is no different from men. Also, emphasizing the point why does not women have the right to vote as men?

"Nor shall any State deprive any person of life liberty, or property without due process of law, or deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Another citizen right used by her, which asserted her point as a fact and not the opinion of her own. Relating to such facts without emotional attachments made the citizen believe in her and made her speech effective to reach the small number of groups.

Therefore, statement with which Susan B. Anthony most likely agree with is D.  By voting in an election, a woman has done nothing illegal or wrong.
