Question

47:05 Read the excerpt from "On Women's Right to Vote," an 1873 speech by Susan B. Anthony. And when 100 or 1,000,000 people enter into a free government, they do not barter away their natural rights; they simply pledge themselves to protect each other in the enjoyment of them, through prescribed judicial and legislative tribunals. Which quotation correctly uses ellipsis to shorten Anthony's words?

Answer 1

Answer:

And when . . . people enter into a free government, they do not barter away their natural rights; they simply pledge themselves to protect each other in the enjoyment of them, through prescribed judicial and legislative tribunals.

Explanation:

An ellipsis is a series of three dots that is used to indicate the omission of surplus words that can be understood or decoded by examining context clues.

In the excerpt above, the omission of the figures 100, and 1,000,000 still allowed for the retention of the meaning of the passage. Therefore, an ellipsis can be used to replace these figures and shorten Anthony's words.

I really hope this helps have a great day.
