part a
what central idea about language does mott express in passage 1?
a flattering words have failed to satisfy women’s need for equality.
b attempts should be made to educate those who use vulgar speech.
c women must learn how to speak well before they can rise in society.
d artistic words can conceal ideas that limit the progress of equal rights.

Explanation:

To answer this, one would need to analyze Passage 1 to understand Mott's views on language. However, based on the options provided, we can infer that the central - idea is about the relationship between language and equality. Option A suggests that flattering words are insufficient for women's equality. Option B focuses on vulgar speech education, Option C on women's speaking skills for social rise, and Option D on artistic words concealing limiting ideas for equal rights. Without the passage, we can't be certain, but if we consider the context of equality and language, Option A seems most relevant as it directly relates language (flattering words) to women's need for equality.

Answer:

A. Flattering words have failed to satisfy women’s need for equality.
