Select the correct text in the passage. which two lines in this excerpt from "address on woman's rights" by elizabeth cady stanton show that she believed only women can address the issues that affect them and so they should be given the right to vote? should that gentleman be present this evening and feel disposed to give any of his objections to our movement, we will be most happy to answer him. i should feel exceedingly diffident to appear before you wholly unused as i am to public speaking, were i not nerved by a sense of right and duty—did i not feel that the time had fully come for the question of woman's wrongs to be laid before the public—did i not believe that woman herself must do this work—for woman alone can understand the height and the depth, the length and the breadth of her own degradation and woe. man cannot speak for us—because he has been educated to believe that we differ from him so materially, that he cannot judge of our thoughts, feelings and opinions by his own. moral beings can only judge of others by themselves—the moment they give a different nature to any of their own kind they utterly fail. the drunkard was hopelessly lost until it was discovered that he was governed by the same laws of mind as the sober man. then with what magic power, by kindness and love, was he raised from the slough of despond and placed rejoicing on high land. let a man once settle the question that woman does not think and feel like himself and he may as well undertake to judge of the amount of intellect and sensation of any of the animal creation as of woman's nature. he can know but little with certainty, and that but by observation. among the many important questions which have been brought before the public, there is none that more vitally affects the whole human family than that which is technically termed woman's rights. every allusion to the degraded and inferior position occupied by woman all over the world, has ever been met by scorn and abuse.

Explanation:

These are the two sentences that show that Elizabeth Cady Stanton believed only women could address the issues that affected them. This is one of the main reasons why Stanton believed women deserved the right to vote. Stanton believed that unless women were able to participate in politics, their issues would never be solved, as no man could successfully understand such a different situation to his own.

source text: from the sketch here given it will be seen, that our good grandmothers differed considerably in their ideas of a fine figure, from their scantily dressed descendants of the present day. a fine lady, in those times, waddled under more clothes even on a fair summer's day, than would have clad the whole bevy of a modern ball room. nor were they the less admired by the gentlemen in consequence thereof. on the contrary, the greatness of a lover's passion seemed to increase in proportion to the magnitude of its object—and a voluminous damsel, arrayed in a dozen of petticoats, was declared by a low-dutch sonnetteer of the province, to be radiant as a sunflower, and luxuriant as a full blown cabbage. certain it is, that in those days, the heart of a lover could not contain more than one lady at a time; whereas the heart of a modern gallant has often room enough to accommodate half a dozen - - the reason of which i conclude to be, either that the hearts of the gentlemen have grown larger, or the persons of the ladies smaller — this however is a question for physiologists to determine. add punctuation to the following excerpt. writing under the name of diedrich knickerbocker washington irving aimed his potent satire at as diverse topics as political rivals such as thomas jefferson to the very ideal of looking back on the past affectionately: a fine lady, in those times, waddled under more clothes even on a fair summer's day, than would have clad the whole bevy of a modern ball room. a voluminous damsel, arrayed in a dozen of petticoats, was declared by a low-dutch sonnetteer of the province, to be radiant as a sunflower, and luxuriant as a full blown cabbage. in those days, the heart of a lover could not contain more than one lady at a time; whereas the heart of a modern gallant has often room enough to accommodate half a dozen
