Question

The most compelling statement that advances the author’s position towards all women’s rights in the argument is:_________. A. "Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman. Man had nothing to do with him." B. "If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again." C. "That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and have the best places everywhere." D. "Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain’t I a woman?"

Answer 1

Answer

B

Explanation:

C and D both support traditional ideals that women are not independent. However, A strictly supports the power of women, making it clear that "Man had nothing to do with him." in relation to Christ's birth. Still, B expresses that women are powerful enough to influence the world immensely. Overall, this quote shows "women together" can bring the world right-side up.
