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.

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.

B) escape from their enemies by jumping away

Escape is spelled correctly in the excerpt. Escape does not have an x. This means option A is wrong and B is correct. C is also wrong because of the spelling of escape and also because it uses the wrong there. In the sentence, their is a possessive adjective. It shows that enemies "belong" to the monkeys since they are the enemies of the monkeys. There means a place, as in over there. They're is a contraction meaning they are. Option D is wrong because of the spelling of escape and the apostrophe in enemie's. An apostrophe is used for contractions or to show ownership. The enemies do not own anything and it is not part of a contraction.
