Question

come to our hands.
how does the 1917 cartoon above, showing suffragists driving a steamroller, reinforce ideas in addamss speech?
choose 1 answer:
a it implies that violence will be necessary to convince men to change the way they vote.
b it suggests that suffragists know more than men about which construction projects will improve the city.
c it shows that the suffrage movement is a powerful force that will ultimately be successful.
d it shows that women in the suffrage movement are not interested in changing the minds of the men who oppose them.

Explanation:

• Option A: The cartoon shows a steamroller, but there's no indication of violence; suffragists' methods here aren't violent, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: The cartoon is about suffrage, not construction projects, so B is irrelevant.
• Option C: A steamroller is a powerful machine that can overcome obstacles. The suffragists driving it implies the movement is a strong force that will succeed in gaining women's suffrage, matching Addams's ideas about the movement's momentum.
• Option D: The cartoon doesn't suggest they aren't interested in changing men's minds; it focuses on the movement's power, not their attitude toward opponents.

Answer:

C. It shows that the suffrage movement is a powerful force that will ultimately be successful.
