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.

How does the passage foreshadow doodles death
stich3 [128]
In The Scarlet Ibis, there are many instances of foreshadowing through motifs that we see at the end all represents Doodle's death. One example is the Ibis itself, which had represented Doodle since the beginning. It was injured, just like him, and died, which he would eventually do. On a deeper level, the passage discusses the seasons. Originally, Doodle was born in the Spring. However, he begins to learn how to walk in the Summer a few years later. Doodle begins to get worse in Autumn because he has less training, and eventually, he dies in the Winter.
