According to the author of Passage 2, in order for
society to progress, women must
A) enjoy personal happiness and financial security.
B) follow all currently prescribed social rules.
C) replace men as figures of power and authority.
D) receive an education comparable to that of men.

Respuesta :

Correct option is D. According to the author of Passage 2, in order for

society to progress, women must receive an education comparable to that of men.

It started with fighting for women's rights. So they want women to have more rights. So they wouldn't want women to follow all the prevailing social norms. And then, answer  C says  replace men as symbols of power and  authority. So this would be incorrect because you can see many references to in this passage where this author  just fights for equality. So if we look at the first  sentence that

I emphasized, she said no, should regret that if she was not educated prepare to be a companion of man. So the man's companion  indicates

as a male companion. So just equal to the man. That's why I answered that option C would be incorrect because it involves  male surrogates, right?  And this author only begs for women's equality.

This question is based on paragraph from Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Originally published in 1792, which is given below -

Passage 2 -

"Contending for the rights of woman, my main argument is built on this simple principle, that if she be not prepared by education to become the companion of man, she will stop the progress of 45 knowledge and virtue; for truth must be common to all, or it will be inefficacious with respect to its influence on general practice.
