Read the excerpt from A History of Women’s Suffrage by Stanton, Anthony, and Gage. The broader demand for political rights has n

ot commanded the thought its merits and dignity should have secured. While complaining of many wrongs and oppressions, women themselves did not see that the political disability of sex was the cause of all their special grievances, and that to secure equality anywhere, it must be recognized everywhere. Like all disfranchised classes, they begun by asking to have certain wrongs redressed, and not by asserting their own right to make laws for themselves. Which statement paraphrases the authors’ argument? Women should try to speak up in public. Women’s personal dignity is not respected. Women have many complaints that they want to voice. Women’s lack of political rights is the root of their troubles.

Answer: The statement that paraphrases the authors’ argument is "Women’s lack of political rights is the root of their troubles."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this excerpt from the 19th book <em>A History of Women’s Suffrage </em>the authors are arguing that women had been taking an incorrect approach when attempting at putting an end to the way they had been socially and politically treated. Instead of identifying that by not being allowed to make laws that acknowledged and protected their rights they were experiencing all those "wrongs and oppressions," they simply kept complaining and asking society to correct those grievances.

The correct answer should be

If he used OR then either of the two would show up, including medical stroke. If he used quotation marks it would show things that have that exact word unchanged, which would include medical, and using NOT in such a way would only show golf without mentioning strokes at all.</span>

Explain how Vonnegut uses flat, static characters like George Bergeron to develop his critique of 1950s American society
Anastaziya [24]
George Bergeron's character is, literally, extremely intelligent, strong, and capable. We know this because of the number of handicaps he is forced to wear by the government. His weights, for example, are so tiring that his wife suggests he risk removing them even thought the consequences are severe for doing so.
Because of his handicaps, George is a character who is incapable of changing, reacting to a situation, or even remembering what he his doing and he is such a rule-follower that he won't use his intelligence or strength to go against the government. 
A reader can see that the handicaps put on George are a metaphor for the burdens that the majority of the population of America are encumbered by in real life. While most people don't have pounds of bird-shot strapped to their necks, it is clear that people ARE burdened by great amounts of debt, jobs that pay little, stresses like large families, consumerism, etc that hold them back from participating fully in life. The "handicaps'' of the story are literally meant to show how much weight we are putting on the wrong things in our lives.
Vonnegut uses characters like George to demonstrate how little people are actually living. They are flat, unfeeling, unemotional, and unable to communicate, resist, or change. It is obvious that George SHOULD react to seeing his son's violent death broadcast on national television, but he is completely incapable of doing so because of the handicaps attached to him. The lack of character development, coupled with the excellent description of George's strengths due to his handicaps is what allows a reader to understand that the character is meant to be criticized. Readers are meant to ask themselves, how could he not react? How could he not remember? Why won't he question the ideals of the government? Why won't he risk himself for something that could save his son?

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The answer is sentence number one.

Explanation:

Every word in a sentence has a meaning. Some of them modify the main word. Misplaced modifier is, as its name suggests, such a word modifying not the word its meant to, but a completely different word. Therefore it is misplaced in a sentence. This changes the meaning of a whole or a part of a sentence.

Having this in mind we see that phrase <em>a gold man's watch </em>from the first sentence has illogical meaning. So looking at this phrase we could interpret it as  a watch that belongs to a gold man, which is highly unlikely. Usually a misplaced modifier is corrected by simply changing the order of the words, which means that in this case the phrase should say: man`s gold watch.

Other sentences from the text do not have ambiguous meaning such this.
