Question

we entirely prevented stockbrokers in london from telegraphing to stockbrokers in glasgow and vice versa: for one whole day telegraphic communication was entirely stopped. i am not going to tell you how it was done. i am going to tell you how the women got to the mains and cut the wires; but it was done. it was done, and it was proved to the authorities that weak women, suffrage women, as we are supposed to be, had enough ingenuity to create a situation of that kind. now, i ask you, if women can do that, is there any limit to what we can do except the limit we put upon ourselves? in this excerpt from freedom or death, how does pankhurst use evidence to support her point about the capabilities of women? by discussing the historical accomplishments of women by explaining the technical details of how the telegraph system works by referencing the views of prominent figures of her time by describing how women successfully disrupted telegraphic communication

Explanation:

The excerpt shows Pankhurst using the example of women disrupting telegraphic communication (stopping stockbrokers from telegraphing) to support her point about women's capabilities. The option "By describing how women successfully disrupted telegraphic communication" matches this, as she describes their action to show what women can do. Other options: discussing historical accomplishments broadly (not just this action), explaining telegraph technical details (she doesn't), or referencing prominent figures (she doesn't) are incorrect.

Answer:

By describing how women successfully disrupted telegraphic communication
