Question 2 • SC-English 3 Honors

Which quote from the text is an example of using logos to promote the idea of woman suffrage?

Answer

“To keep a foothold in society, woman must be as near like man as possible, reflect his ideas, opinions, virtues, motives, prejudices, and vices.”

“Society is but the reflection of man himself, untempered by woman's thought; the hard iron rule we feel alike in the church, the state, and the home.”

“People object to the demands of those whom they choose to call the strong-minded, because they say ‘the right of suffrage will make the women masculine.’”

“A government of the most virtuous educated men and women would better represent the whole and protect the interests of all than could the representation of either sex alone.”

Explanation

Logos persuades through reasoning and claims supported by logic. Choice D argues that including educated women in government would represent everyone better and protect all interests, giving a reason for woman suffrage. The other quotes mainly describe society or report an objection rather than making this kind of logical case.
