Question

read the sentence from the era - the selective - service law would include women, but women would not be required to serve in the armed forces where they are not fitted any more than men are required to serve. which best paraphrases this sentence? women would be required to serve the armed forces according to rules in place for men. men are not required to serve in the armed forces where they are not able, and the same exceptions would apply to women. we would reach equality if women are allowed to serve in the armed forces wherever they are able. service in the armed forces, once limited to men, would now become a great opportunity for women.

Explanation:

The text discusses the selective service law and how it would include women if the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) were passed. It implies that currently, men are required to register for the draft while women are not. The idea of equal - rights for women in military service is being considered. The best answer is that we need equality in whatever capacity they are able to serve, meaning that if women are able to serve in the armed forces, they should have the same opportunities as men.

Answer:

We need equality in whatever capacity they are able to serve.
