I think you're right on 2 and 3. But if 3 is D, then what's the answer to question 1?
It's very true that the Abolition movement was paramount in the 1850s, but the fact remains that women did not have the political power to achieve the goals stated at Seneca Falls. Men thought, by and large, that women should not have political power, and they held all the offices and could vote. So I'm not sure that these questions really address the issue, but your best answers are what counts!
