Read the excerpt from we shall not be moved. league women came and went, usually at a run. some were "ladies," like mary dreier, others were worker-members, like rose schneiderman, a former cap maker, and leonora o'reilly, who had started work in a collar factory at the age of eleven. another league member, rose pastor stokes, known as the red yiddish cinderella, used to work in a cigar factory. when she became engaged to the son of a millionaire — they had met at a settlement house — front page headlines in the new york times announced j. g. stokes to wed young jewess. at strike headquarters mrs. stokes delivered fiery speeches about freeing workers from the shackles of the bosses. what conclusion can be drawn by connecting knowledge of the historical time period with information in the text? the women of the league were wealthy women who had little-to-no experience working in a garment factory. the support of wealthy league women contributed to the successful outcome of the female garment workers' strike. women who worked in garment factories were often married, so it was not critical that they receive equal pay. women who did not need to work were not interested in or aware of the difficulties faced by garment factory workers.

From the excerpt and the historical context, one can understand that the league of women is constituted by wome from all sorts of different backgrounds, some are "ladies", meaning married women, like Mary Dreier, while others are working class women, like Leonora O'Reilly. This means that the support of weathy league women contributed to the succesful outcome of the female workers' strike. The first option is the right answer.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
