Developing an Argument

Question 9 • RIDDLE-FL-1700370-Critical Thinking and Study Skills 25/26

Read the excerpt from "Ain’t I a Woman?” by Sojourner Truth.I could work as much and eat as much as a man—when I could get it—and bear the lash as well! And ain’t I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain’t I a woman?

Answer
A
her disagreements with men
B
her experiences from her life
C
her relationship with religion
D
her conversations with others

Explanation

Truth supports her point by describing experiences from her own life: she worked and ate as much as a man, endured the lash, and had most of her children sold into slavery. These personal experiences make “her experiences from her life” the best choice; the excerpt is not mainly about conversations or disagreements with men.
