Which sentence best incorporates direct quotations fromthe passage?Read the excerpt from "On Women's Right to Vote" bySusan B. AnthonyThe only question left to be settled now is: Are womenpersons? And I hardly believe any of our opponents willhave the hardihood to say they are not. Being persons,then, women are citizens; and no state has a right tomake any law, or to enforce any old law, that shallabridge their privileges or immunities. Hence, everydiscrimination against women in the constitutions andlaws of the several states is today null and void.After asking the rhetorical question "Are womenpersons?" and noting that even opponents would behard-pressed to argue that women are not persons,Anthony forcefully states her logical conclusion:"Being persons, then, women are citizens."Anthony argues that Being persons, then, women arecitizens; and no state has a right to make any law, orto enforce any old law, that shall abridge theirprivileges or immunities."Hence, every discrimination against women in theconstitutions and laws of the several states is todaynull and void," and it is hard to argue with thatconclusion.Thus, since "women are citizens." "no state has aright to make any law, or to enforce any old law" that takes away the privelages or immunities of being a citizen.
