30. Which of the following best describes Anthony’s ƒ”‰—‡–ƒ–‹˜‡ •–”ƒ–‡‰› ‹ –Š‡ ϐ‹ƒŽ ’ƒ”ƒ‰”ƒ’Šǫ F. She poses a question, the answer to which she believes is obvious and will be accepted by her opponents. G. She describes a hypothetical situation that is analogous to her own position and draws conclusions from the comparison. H. She insists that words are often ambiguous and that important terms like “citizen” can have multiple meanings depending on the context. J. She points out that her opponents have confused the effect of an event with its cause and offers a different explanation.

27. Which of the following best explains the dilemma to which Anthony refers in line 49? A. If women cannot vote because masculine pronouns in the constitutions and laws do not apply to them, then women should not be subject to other laws that use masculine pronouns. B. When women are denied the right to vote on the basis of gender, then it is equally Œ—•–‹ϐ‹ƒ„Ž‡ –‘ †‡› ‡ –Š‡ ”‹‰Š– –‘ ˜‘–‡ ‘ the basis of gender. C. Once women are granted the right to vote, then it will no longer be legal to deny any individual the right to vote, even if that individual is not able to vote intelligently. D. If women continue to be excluded from the voting booth, then men and women as groups are necessarily set against each other and a revolution is likely to occur. 28. Which of the following best exhibits the logical structure of Anthony’s argument that she has a right to vote? F. All persons are citizens; all citizens have the right to vote; women are persons; therefore, women have the right to vote. G. All persons have the right to vote; all persons are citizens; women are citizens; therefore, women have the right to vote. H. All citizens are persons; all persons have the right to vote; women are persons; therefore, women have the right to vote. J. All women are persons; all citizens are persons; all citizens have the right to vote; therefore, women have the right to vote. 29. Anthony’s main point in paragraph three (lines 26–42) is that: A. a government by men only creates dissension and instability rather than domestic tranquility. B. educated persons of both genders should be –Š‡ ‘Ž› ’‡‘’Ž‡ “—ƒŽ‹ϐ‹‡† –‘ ˜‘–‡Ǥ Ǥ ‡ ƒ”‡ ‘– —‹“—‡Ž› “—ƒŽ‹ϐ‹‡† „› –Š‡‹” gender to make intelligent decisions in the voting booth. D. the blessings of liberty extend to women even though they are not permitted to vote.
