Answer 1

To determine the number of years between the Seneca Falls Convention and women winning the right to vote in Wyoming and the country as a whole:

1. The Seneca Falls Convention took place in 1848, and Wyoming granted women the right to vote in 1869. The difference is 1869 - 1848 = 21 years.

2. The 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote in the United States as a whole, was ratified in 1920. The difference is 1920 - 1848 = 72 years.

So, the correct answers are:

• 21 years for Wyoming
• 72 years for the country as a whole

If both answers are correct, the student earns 2 points. If one is correct, the student earns 1 point. If neither is correct, they earn 0 points.
