Question

read the excerpt from \keep things stirring.\
when we get our rights, we shall not have to come to
you for money, for then we shall have money enough in
our own pockets, and maybe you will ask us for money.
but help us now until we get it. it is a good consolation
to know that when we have got this battle once fought,
we shall not be coming to you anymore.
which best summarizes truths message to men in this
excerpt?
womens rights will correct an imbalance in earning
power and will make life better for both sexes.
it is really to the benefit of men to help women get
their rights to equal pay. the sooner that happens,
the sooner women and men can stop fighting over
money and finally have enough to share.
men should be motivated to help women get their
rights, so women can earn their own pay and not
have to ask men for money.
when women get equal rights, they will not have to
ask men for money out of their pockets, but maybe
men will be able to ask women for money. so, men
should help women, so men can keep more of their
own money.

Explanation:

The excerpt states that when women gain rights, they will earn their own money and no longer need to ask men for financial support, and it urges men to help women achieve this. Let's analyze each option:

1. The first option mentions "correct an imbalance in earning power and make life better for both sexes" which is not the core message of the excerpt.
2. The second option focuses on "equal pay" and "stop fighting over money to share" which is not the key point of the given text.
3. The third option aligns directly: it states men should help women get rights so women can earn their own pay and not rely on men for money, which matches the excerpt's message.
4. The fourth option frames men's motivation as "keeping more of their own money" and "men asking women for money", which is not the main message; the excerpt emphasizes women's financial independence, not men's financial gain.

Answer:

C. Men should be motivated to help women get their rights, so women can earn their own pay and not have to ask men for money.
