Answer:
"Until the early 20th century, women in America were denied suffrage (the right to vote) in political elections. It wasn’t until June 4, 1919 that Congress passed the 19th Amendment, which granted women their right to vote. Carrie Chapman Catt (1859-1947) campaigned for the 19th Amendment, and was considered a leader among women’s suffrage. In the following address to Congress in November 1917, Catt argues for the rights of women."

Hope this helps.
Read the paragraph.
Even though my life is very busy, I spend as much time as I can with my family. I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete, to play soccer with me. I also enjoy taking walks, baking desserts, and playing cards with my mom. However, nothing is better than watching movies with my loyal, black cat, Max.
How should this paragraph be revised so that it is correct?
The word “soccer” should be capitalized.
The comma after “however” should be removed.
The word “cat” should be capitalized.
The comma after “loyal” should be removed.
Answer:
The comma after “loyal” should be removed.
Explanation:
The removal of the comma after the word "loyal" is necessary because the words "loyal" and *black" are adjectives describing the cat and shouldn't be separated by a comma.
A comma serves different functions in grammar which includes introducing a pause in a sentence and there is no need for the pause because the adjectives are about a common thing and not a separate idea.
I think that the phrase "sporting proposition" means a game of chance.
It was used in this dialogue:
"Simply this: hunting had ceased to be what you call `a sporting proposition.' It had become too easy. I always got my quarry. Always. There is no greater bore than perfection." (1.96)
When you say "sport" is infers a chance of winning and losing. There is no sure outcome.
In the above lines, hunting has become a sure deal and it does not invigorate nor inspire the hunters to do better.
