Question

read the sentence from for the era. the selective service law would have to 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 in the armed forces according to rules already in place for men. men are not required to serve in the armed forces if 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 in whatever capacity they are able. service in the armed forces, once limited to men, would now become a great opportunity for women.

Explanation:

The original sentence states that the selective - service law would include women, but women would have the same exemptions as men regarding serving in the armed forces if they are not suited. The second option correctly paraphrases this by saying that men are not required to serve if not able and the same exceptions would apply to women.

Answer:

Men are not required to serve in the armed forces if they are not able, and the same exceptions would apply to women.
