Answer 1

B. it granted formerly enslaved men the right to vote, while women were still denied this right.

Answer 2

        The Passage of the Fifteenth Amendment in 1869 granted formerly enslaved men the right to vote, but women were still denied this right.

        Even though the former slave men had the right to vote, many of them, mainly in the southern states, were disenfranchised by pool taxes, literacy tests or coercion, as in many cities the people who successfully registered to vote appeared in the newspapers and were victims of violence or lose their jobs. These initiatives lasted in many places until the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

        As for the women suffrage, the right to vote  were achieved nationwide only by the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920.
