Correct answer is A. In Passage 2, the author claims that freedoms granted by society’s leaders have privileged one gender over the other.
In lines 72-78, Wollstonecraft argues that the laws passed by society’s leaders allow men to “contend for their freedom” but serve to “subjugate women.” In this context, “subjugate” means to control. Wollstonecraft is arguing that society’s leaders grant men freedoms that are denied to women.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because Wollstonecraft does not
claim that society’s leaders have granted freedoms that created a
general reduction in individual virtue, caused arguments about
happiness, or ensured equality for all people.
