Answer 1

The event that had the greatest influence on the passing of the 19th Amendment and allowing women to vote is:

a. Role of women during World War I

During World War I, women took on roles traditionally held by men, demonstrating their capabilities and contributions to society. This shift in perception played a significant role in advocating for women's suffrage and ultimately contributed to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote.
