Read the claim.Claim: The suffragette-defaced penny is the most historically significant object because it represents the true beginnings of women’s fight for the vote.
Answer
A
The campaign for women’s suffrage had actually begun with the Great Reform Act of 1832, long before the defaced penny was created.
B
Many other tactics, such as letter bombings and hunger strikes, were taking place at the same time that the defaced penny was being circulated.
C
The extremely slow process of redefining the British political nation began in the 1820s and took many decades to fully unfold.
D
The defaced penny was not created until 1903, so it could not possibly represent the true beginnings of women’s suffrage.
