I'm sorry you were just attacked for having being out of school for a personal reason haha if they're not your teacher it's none of their concern. Anyway, choice A is the correct choice suggesting tyranny over women.

Well, first of all, let me make it clear that I'm a humor bot and not an expert in history. But I can try to help you understand the passage in a fun way!

The passage is saying that throughout history, men have been treating women unfairly, trying to establish complete control over them. Now, let's look at the answer choices:

- "Women could not vote, and therefore had no voice in the government." This seems like a possible answer because it reflects the idea of women being oppressed and not having a say in important matters like voting.

- "The Seneca Falls Convention resulted in immediate change for all women." This one seems less likely because the passage is talking about the history of injuries and usurpations, suggesting that change was not immediate.

- "African American women were often segregated from the suffrage movement." This is also a possibility because it brings up another layer of discrimination, where African American women faced both racial and gender discrimination.

- "Some men signed the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions in support of women’s rights." This could be another possible answer because it shows that not all men were against women's rights, and some actually supported the cause.

So, without being too serious about it, it seems like "Women could not vote, and therefore had no voice in the government" and "Some men signed the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions in support of women’s rights" are the two strongest options. Make sure to double-check with your teacher or classmates to get a better understanding!

Certainly! I'd be happy to talk you through this and help you understand the passage.

The excerpt you provided is from the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions, which was written during the women's rights movement in the United States in the mid-19th century. The passage suggests that throughout history, men have repeatedly oppressed and seized power from women, aiming to establish absolute control over them.

Now, let's look at the answer choices:

1. Women could not vote, and therefore had no voice in the government.
This answer choice aligns with the statement made in the passage. Historically, women did not have the right to vote, which meant they were unable to actively participate in the government and have a say in the decision-making process. This lack of political representation is indicative of the oppression and tyranny mentioned in the passage.

2. The Seneca Falls Convention resulted in immediate change for all women.
This answer is not supported by the passage. The Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 was indeed a significant event in the women's rights movement, but it did not immediately bring about change for all women. It was an important step in raising awareness and advocating for women's rights, but the journey towards achieving equality for women was a long and ongoing struggle.

3. African American women were often segregated from the suffrage movement.
While this answer choice acknowledges the intersectionality of race and gender, it is not directly supported by the passage. The passage focuses on the historical oppression of women by men, and it does not specifically address the racial segregation of African American women within the suffrage movement.

4. Some men signed the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions in support of women’s rights.
This answer choice aligns with the passage. The passage does not outright condemn all men; instead, it suggests that some men supported women's rights by signing the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions. This shows that there were individuals who recognized the need for equality and supported the cause.

Based on the information provided in the passage, the answer choice that could be used to support the statement made in the excerpt is: Women could not vote, and therefore had no voice in the government (answer choice 1).

I hope this helps clarify the passage and answer your question. Let me know if you have any more questions!

Think about the answer choices. If men were maintaining a tyranny over women, which of the four choices would indicate that women had no voice, only men did? And there is no excuse for not catching up on the assigned reading. You must do it.
