The Long Fight for Women's Suffrage in the United States

Question

What text structure does the author of the article use to organize paragraph 3?

A.
The author compares and contrasts the beliefs and efforts made by the two main groups during the movement.

B.
The author persuades the reader that the NWSA accomplished more than the AWSA for the suffrage movement.

C.
The author gives details in chronological order of the work done by the suffragists working toward women’s voting rights.

D.
The author explains how the passing of the Fifteenth Amendment paved the way for the Nineteenth Amendment to be passed.

Answer 1

To determine the correct text structure used in paragraph 3 of the article, one would need to analyze the content of that specific paragraph. However, given the options provided, the focus of each option suggests a different organizational method:

• A indicates a comparison and contrast.
• B focuses on persuasion regarding the accomplishments of two groups.
• C describes a chronological order of events or actions.
• D explains a cause-and-effect relationship regarding amendments.

If paragraph 3 discusses how the passing of the Fifteenth Amendment had an influence on the Nineteenth Amendment, then option D would be correct. Conversely, if it analyzes the contributions of both the NWSA and AWSA, then A or B might be applicable depending on how it’s framed.

Without the specific content of paragraph 3, I cannot definitively select the correct answer. If you can provide the content or a brief summary of that paragraph, I can help you choose the most accurate text structure.
