Explanation:

1. For question 3: The Feminine Mystique was written by Betty Friedan, and its publication is widely credited with igniting the second wave of feminism in the United States.
2. For the March on Washington question: The Lincoln Memorial was selected because it is a symbolic site tied to Abraham Lincoln, who signed the Emancipation Proclamation ending chattel slavery in the Confederate states. This connection linked the fight for civil rights in 1963 to the nation's ongoing struggle to fulfill the promise of freedom and equality for Black Americans. It also is a prominent, public space in Washington D.C. that could accommodate the large crowd and gain national visibility.
3. For the cause and effect question: The only listed event is the Birmingham police attack on protesters. The immediate impact was widespread national outrage over the violent, televised images of the attack, which galvanized public support for civil rights legislation and increased pressure on the federal government to intervene in civil rights issues.
