Read this excerpt from “Ain’t I a Woman?” by Sojourner Truth. In which sentences does she make an emotional appeal to the audien

ce by talking about her personal hardships?
Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that 'twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what's all this here talking about?

That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?

Then they talk about this thing in the head; what's this they call it? [member of audience whispers, "intellect"] That's it, honey. What's that got to do with women's rights or negroes' rights? If my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?

The second paragraph mostly contains the personal hardships the speaker has in her life as a Negro woman. Specifically, the sentences wherein she talks about no one helping her into carriages, ploughed and gathered in the farm, eat and work as much as a man, and being sold off to slavery best describe the emotional appeal she wanted to convey.

babymother [125]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The movie </em><u><em>that we saw last month (B) </em></u><em>was intriguing. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

This sentence also become meaningful by aptly filling the blank with ‘that we saw last month’. This is because the sentence already contains the tense was which hints that the movie was seen in the past. Thus, the choice of words "that we saw last month" is precise and relevant with the sentence and the tense. Moreover, "that" is used because this is the thing which has been done earlier.
