Read this excerpt from Susan B. Anthony's "Is it a Crime for a Citizen of the United States to Vote? " and complete the sentence

s that follow.
But is urged, the use of the masculine pronouns he, his and him, in all the constitutions and laws, is proof that only men were meant to be included in their provisions. If you insist on this version of the letter of the law, we shall insist that you be consistent, and accept the other horn of the dilemma, which would compel you to exempt women from taxation for the support of the government, and from penalties for the violation of laws. . . .

So long as any classes of men were denied their right to vote, the government made a show of consistency, by exempting them from taxation. When a property qualification of $250 was required of black men in New York, they were not compelled to pay taxes, so long as they were content to report themselves worth less than that sum; but the moment the black man died, and his property fell to his widow or daughter, the black woman's name would be put on the assessor's list, and she be compelled to pay taxes on the same property exempted to her husband. The same is true of ministers in New York. So long as the minister lives, he is exempted from taxation on $1,500 of property, but the moment the breath goes out of his body, his widow's name will go down on the assessor's list, and she will have to pay taxes on the $1,500. So much for the special legislation in favor of women.

Susan B. Anthony offers two strong justifications for granting women the right to vote. She refutes the anti-suffragist claim that women should not be allowed to vote since all laws were written by men for men. Instead, she makes the case that since women are required to pay all taxes even if they are not mentioned in tax laws, all women should be given the right to vote.

What is a theme in the story "A birthday tradition"?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Focus on the things that truly matter.

and

"Justine recognized that the tradition of spending her birthday with her grandmother was way more important than wearing trendsetting attire for a day..."

Explanation:

<h2>Question 1:</h2>

Always be honest with those you love. - This is not the correct answer, as the story explains that sometimes we do not have to say our completely honest opinion about something if it is minor, and it might hurt people we love.

<em> Focus on the things that truly matter.</em> - <u>This is the correct answer.</u> The story explains how small, everyday inconveniences and embarrassment do not matter that much compared to the health, family, and happiness of the people we love.<u> We should be grateful for big things that we have and value them, instead of focusing on small negative things that bother us (such as outfit we do not like).</u>

Traditions change and evolve over time. - This is an incorrect answer. The story shows how small, harmless traditions can be invaluable and how respecting them can make someone happy.

If something is wrong, take action. - This is not the correct answer. The story does not talk about correcting the wrongdoings of someone else.

<h2> Question 2: </h2>

"She had taken the items from the gift box, put them on, and posed for pictures with her grandmother, as was customary, but then, Justine hid her face . . . " - This is not the correct answer. This quotation only talks about past birthdays and how Justine acted.

<em>"Justine recognized that the tradition of spending her birthday with her grandmother was way more important than wearing trendsetting attire for a day . . . " </em> - <u>This is the correct answer. </u>This quotation shows how <u>Justine realizes the significance of the important things that matter, which is here spending a birthday with her beloved grandmother.</u> <u>She should not have been worried about small things, like being embarrassed by untrendy clothes,</u> because those things do not truly matter in life.

"Justine felt as though she not only sparkled but also glowed in the dark . . . " - This is an incorrect answer. The quotation only explains how Justine felt in the clothes.

"It had been an annual tradition since Justine was five years old. Her maternal grandmother always surprised her with a brand new outfit on her birthday." - This is an incorrect answer. This quotation only reflects on explaining what was the birthday tradition in the title.

I believe that the description that fits the mood expressed in this excerpt best is B. afraid of this storm because it is one of the worst of all he has experienced.
He says that he has experienced many storms, but that none of them were anything like the one he is experiencing at this moment, and so he is afraid of it.
