multiple choice question
the paragraph that is shown is about womens legal rights in the united states. from the choices listed, select the main organizational structure of the paragraph, referring to the transitions and signal words as clues.
one hundred fifty years of womens struggle for equality in law have brought changes but not equality. one authority estimates that in the united states today there are over 800 pieces of blatantly sex - discriminatory laws currently on the statute books. in wisconsin a wife can be disinherited by her husband. in most states women cannot co - sign for a loan even though the property is jointly owned. in some states a man can legally kill his wife if he finds her having sexual relations with another man. in rape cases, a woman with prior sexual experience is less likely to be believed if she claims she was raped. to some extent in western societies, women continue to be seen in law and in practice as “property” to be owned and controlled by men.
