Question

question 1-5
read the sentence from the passage.
“women began to join forces, borrowing ideas from women’s groups in other countries”.
how does the figurative language add to the meaning of the passage?
it shows how groups of women combined their efforts to create change.
it shows that groups of women formed small armies to fight for their rights.
it proves that women were willing to protest in both violent and nonviolent ways to be able to vote.
it proves that suffragettes were willing to break the law to cast votes when they did not have the right.

Explanation:

The phrase "join forces" is figurative, meaning to combine efforts. The other options misinterpret the figurative language: forming armies (violent misinterpretation), protesting methods (not related to the phrase), or breaking laws (not implied by "join forces"). The correct option explains the figurative meaning of combining efforts for change.

Answer:

A. It shows how groups of women combined their efforts to create change.
