Answer

Brief Explanations:

An ellipsis (...) is used to omit words while keeping the meaning. In the second option, "that whiplash" is omitted with an ellipsis, and the meaning of women having the ballot and helping make laws remains. The first option just cuts off mid - phrase. The third option uses commas instead of proper ellipsis for word omission. The fourth option omits "women" which changes the subject (the original is about women's role).

Answer:

I should like to see the time come when women shall help to make the laws. I should like to see... the ballot, in the hands of women.
