Answer:

John is not Gabriel’s biological son.

Explanation:

James Baldwin's short story "The Rockpile" tells the story of a family who had been living in poverty. The main plot of the story revolves around a father's biased treatment of his children with that of his wife's son from another man.

John was the eldest of his siblings, "<em>an alterable testimony to his mother's days in sin</em>". The rest of the children were the legitimate off-springs of Gabriel and his wife while only John had been born from another man. S, when he saw that Roy had been hurt badly, he began to get angry at his wife's son. He had always treated his own bloodline differently to John, who, to him was a result of some sin. Thus, he treats him differently as he wasn't his biological son.

Read this paragraph from History of Woman Suffrage, Volume I.
fomenos

The correct answer is: Option C. To persuade readers that women deserve the right to vote.


The author begins their statement by introducing a man's point of view in a scenario where women are allowed to vote, and how that would alter their ego and social behaviour. This is done as a means to present a reason for men not to take a policy like that so lightly. The author then, with the final phrase "Let the majority rule", clearly invites the readers to have their voices heard about the matter, expecting these to be raised on favor of women.
