I perhaps view politics a bit in reverse from most people. I see it as an expression of society and the state of a culture. Not only are politics ubiquitous but one can only understand them when they see them in every day life.
<span>It's like a river. If you want to study a how a river flows, you can't scoop some water up. You have to understand several factors to why a river flows. Trying to isolate it will never reveal even that simple thing to you. If you really want to understand politics, study psychology and sociology. Study military history and especially study mass movements. </span>
<span>Only studying the specific occurrences is really just a matter of memorization, you won't ever understand politics until you realize that it being ubiquitous is a fundamental principle of politics. Don't get caught up on looking at one puzzle piece that you never realize where to put it.</span>
The answer is A: request.
To request means to ask, usually, though not necessarily, in a polite way for something, commonly a favor with which one needs assistance or help.
Again, though it is not necessarily always the case, the action of requesting is often accompanied by humility and gratitude on the side of the person asking for something, and it is accompanied by satisfaction on the side of the one who is being asked.

The Set-Up
Slavery existed and women didn't have the vote in the first half of the 1800s. The people who weren't complete dirtbags wanted to change that…and had conventions to build up followers.
The Text
Truth begins her speech by pointing out that women and Black men gathering together should strike terror in the hearts of men attached to the status quo. (So you know this is going to be good.)
The status quo is that women need to be protected, and she describes all the special treatment that she never receives. Yeah; both of these are messed up. Women aren't fragile things that need to be treated like weird glass-blown angels…Sojourner Truth proves this by being strong.
…but she also proves that Black women are treated absolutely horrifically. She gets worked like a man (and beaten like a man) and so is considered less of a woman and less of human being.
Then she brings up the complete lack of logic present in inequality. She—being Black and a woman in the 1800s—is allowed less than a white man. But white dudes are getting snippy because she's asking for just a little more in the way of rights. Why are these guys getting miffed, exactly? She's not asking for them to have fewer rights than they already have; she's just asking for more than what she has.
Some of these dudes argue that women can achieve less because—check out this skewed logic—Jesus was male. Truth states that this is ridiculous. After all, God depended on Mary to bring Jesus to the world.
And speaking of Biblical women achieving Big Deal things: Eve managed to turn her world upside down with just one bite of an apple. So a statement that women can't get things done is insane: with the combined forces of determined women, there can be change again. Eventually, men will bow before the force of women's power.
Now that's how you end a speech.
TL;DR
A Black woman stood up and said, "Hey, I'm human, too. And I deserve just as many rights as Black men and white women."
And then the sound of her dropping the mic echoed through history.

I expected it to end with none of the humans turning out to be ailen after all. I thought that maybe there was aliens, but they were messing with the people of the town to make them push the blame on eachother.
