The best strategy you can use to clarify the concept of elective franchise is option 4: Use context clues within the sentence itself.

The sentence that includes the term "elective franchise" provides you with the following clues: "<em>this first right of a citizen</em>" and "<em>leaving her without represenation in the halls of legislation</em>". These clues help you understand the meaning of elective franchise. Thus, the concept can be explained as the right a citizen has to vote and to be represented.
