On the 1st of July 1731, Benjamin Franklin and members from the Junto drew up "Articles of Agreement" to form a library. The Junto group was fascinated in various ideas from economics to solving social woes to politics to science. However, they could not turn to books to increase their know-hows or to settle disputes because they owned few tomes. Nevertheless, they recognized that through the Junto's joined purchasing power, books could become available to all members. 50 subscribers invested 40 shillings each to commence a library. The members also promised to invest 10 shillings more each year to purchase more books and to assist in the maintenance of the library. Their motto was "To support the common good is divine."

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Paragraph: With this constant [teasing] from students and the sad complaints of the women, my mind was sorely [confused]. So when, from time to time, my attention was called to these [horrible] laws, I would mark them with a pencil, and becoming more and more convinced of the necessity of taking some active measures against these unjust [laws], I resolved to seize the first opportunity, when alone in the office, to cut every one of them out of the books; supposing my father and his library were the beginning and the end of the law. Which statement best describes the central idea of this excerpt?

D) Stanton discovered inequality and began fighting for gender equality at a young age.

Take note of how he uses the words confused, horrible, and unjust to describe these laws! I hope this helps! :)
