Question

members of the womens rights movement sometimes disagreed about what the movements goals should be. the passage below describes the opinions of several important members of the movement. click to correct any errors in the text.
susan b. anthony thought the movement should focus on just one goal. she believed that if women gained suffrage, or freedom of religion, they could use their new power to change other unfair laws.
elizabeth cady stanton also supported suffrage, but she believed the womens rights movement should pursue many goals at once. for example, she wanted to fight for womens rights to control property and to get divorced if their husbands behaved badly.
at first, lucretia mott worried that people would think women were
idiculous\ if they demanded the right to vote. she feared their opponents would then support all of the womens other goals, too. later, mott changed her mind and supported suffrage.

Explanation:

1. First error correction: "suffrage" is the right to vote, not "freedom of religion"—this is a definitional mistake in the text.
2. Second error correction: The sentence about Stanton has a subject error; it should refer to women being able to get divorced, not the movement, so rephrase to clarify the subject.
3. Third error correction: The logic of Mott's fear is reversed; she worried that pushing for suffrage would make opponents reject, not support, other women's goals.

Answer:

1. In the Susan B. Anthony section: Change "freedom of religion" to the right to vote (to correctly define suffrage).

Corrected text: She believed that if women gained suffrage, or the right to vote, they could use their new power to change other unfair laws.

1. In the Elizabeth Cady Stanton section: Revise to fix the subject reference.

Corrected text: For example, she wanted to fight for women's rights to control property and to get divorced if their husbands behaved badly.

1. In the Lucretia Mott section: Correct the logical error in her fear.

Corrected text: She feared their opponents would then reject all of the women's other goals, too.
