Answer:As for this city's government, I don't want to say much, except that it is a shame – a shame; but if I should live twenty-five years longer . . . I think I'll see women handle the ballot.
Explanation:Read the excerpt from “Votes for Women,” a speech by Mark Twain from 1901.
As for this city's government, I don't want to say much, except that it is a shame – a shame; but if I should live twenty-five years longer – and there is no reason why I shouldn't – I think I'll see women handle the ballot.
Which quotation correctly uses ellipsis to shorten Twain’s words?
I believe that the last option (As for this city's government, I don't want to say much, except that it is a shame – a shame; but if I should live twenty-five years longer . . . I think I'll see women handle the ballot.) correctly uses ellipsis to shorten Mark Twain’s words from the speech “Votes for Women”. I think that this answer looks most sensible and shows the main idea of the speech in the right form. The answer to your question is D. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
