Just three days earlier, I had seen my father walking slowly from work. His hard hat was under his arm and his long face was swe

ating from the hot afternoon sun. I was sitting on the verandah. I had not seen him for a while, as another stepmother had destroyed our relationship again. But that morning my father smiled at me as he came up the steps. He examined my face, and his lips were about to utter something, when my stepmother came out. He looked away, then at my stepmother, who pretended not to see me. They quietly went into the parlor. I held back my tears and left the verandah to meet with Junior at the junction where we waited for the lorry. We were on our way to see our mother in the next town about three miles away. When our father had paid for our school, we had seen her on weekends over the holidays when we were back home. Now that he refused to pay, we visited her every two or three days. That afternoon we met Mother at the market and walked with her as she purchased ingredients to cook for us. Her face was dull at first, but as soon as she hugged us, she brightened up. She told us that our little brother, Ibrahim, was at school and that we would go get him on our way from the market. She held our hands as we walked, and every so often she would turn around as if to see whether we were still with her. How does the setting in the excerpt support Beah’s characterization?

Which sentence in this excerpt from Susan B. Anthony’s “On Women’s Right to Vote” reveals the purpose of the speech? Friends and
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

<em>And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot.</em>

Explanation:

Susan B. Anthony's speech "On Women's Right To Vote" invokes the Preamble of the Consitution of the United States about the inclusion of women in its statement <em>"We, the people"</em>. She reiterates that the <em>"we"</em> in the Preamble means not only the men but also the women, and the equality of all genders.

In the given excerpt from her speech, she declares her intention to prove that <em>"voting" </em>is not a crime but a simple <em>"[exercising] of her citizen's rights"</em> guaranteed by the National Constitution. So, it is upon her now to show that she has committed no crime as such as simply doing right by the very rights that the nation has given to everyone.

Thus, the sentence that reveals the purpose of her speech is seen in the last line

<em>And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot.</em>
