Choice A is the best answer. Wollstonecraft argues in the final paragraph of Passage 2 that society's male leaders are like "tyrants" that deny women "civil and political rights" (lines 81-88"In...dark"). The authors of Passage 1 would most likely argue that allowing women these rights would be "a reversal of [society's] primary destines" as society's leaders should only seek women's interests as they pertain to the "wishes of nature," such as women's role as mothers (lines 18-30"Any... conserving"). The authors of Passage 1 clarify that "nature" created two sexes for a particular reason, so while men can exercise civil and politi-cal rights, women are not naturally suited to these activities (lines 30-36"home...us").
Choices B and C are incorrect because they are not supported by informa-tion in Passage 1. Choice D is incorrect because the authors of Passage 1 do not mention "natural law," only the "wishes of nature."
