Read the passage.In 1871, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and several other women sent a letter to the US Senate and the House of Representatives. They demanded that Congress grant women the right to vote in elections. They also asked to speak before lawmakers to address their concerns and explain why women deserved this right. Although these activists wanted to create a more equitable society, they also have been criticized for their approach. They often did not include women of color in their efforts, and, at times, they ignored the contributions of Black women who were fighting for voting rights.Over the years, the activism of Cady Stanton, Anthony, and others put enormous pressure on the government. Finally, in 1920, the ratification of the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote. Although this legislation was a major milestone, it only guaranteed voting rights for White women. Women of color were unable to safely vote in most areas, particularly in the segregated South. This would not change until new legislation during the civil rights movement protected the right to vote for all US citizens.Which challenge related to social movements does this example demonstrate?

Chinese activist Ai Weiwei creates art in various forms, such as sculpture, architecture, and photography. With his work, he has addressed various social issues, including the plight of Chinese citizens under communism. Sunflower Seeds is one of his most well-known works. It is an art installation curated for the Tate Modern in London in 2010. The project includes 100 million tiny pieces of porcelain that have been sculpted to resemble sunflower seeds. The pieces were crafted and hand-painted by 1,600 artisans from China. The "sunflower seeds" were then collected and spread across an enormous, empty hall in the museum. Visitors were encouraged to walk across the floor and step on the seeds, which represented conformity and the oppression of the Chinese people.
