Asap will mark a student is writing a research paper for history class about how american women won the right to vote. he is searching the following text for evidence to use in his report. read the text and the directions that follow. the 19th amendment, which granted american women the right to vote, passed in 1920. but it had taken many years for women to win suffrage. (“suffrage” is another way of saying the right to vote.) the national american woman suffrage association was led by susan b. anthony and elizabeth cady stanton. they did not push for a national women’s suffrage law. instead, they worked state by state to win the vote for women. they were most successful in the west. many people think that was because men’s and women’s roles were not as rigidly defined in the newer settlements as they were in the more established east. members of the national woman’s party, on the other hand, hoped for a national amendment for women’s suffrage. alice paul was their leader. she had worked toward women’s suffrage in england. they took direct action. they picketed at the white house. some were arrested and went on hunger strikes in jail. after they supported president woodrow wilson’s decision for the united states to get involved in world war i, they asked, “mr. president, what will you do for woman suffrage? ” which conclusion can the student make based on the evidence in the text? choice 1 women were patriotic so they should have the right to vote. choice 2 women needed widespread public support in order to win the right to vote. choice 3 women’s groups used different methods in order to obtain the right to vote. choice 4 picketing the white house was the most effective way to win women’s suffrage.

Part 2: thoreau’s ideas had a profound effect on a man named gandhi. gandhi, was a leader in india who worked to end british rule. he led india to independence and inspired many to non-violent forms of protest and resistance. he fought to end poverty, worked to expand women's right to vote, and built bridges between ethnic and religious groups. like thoreau, he lived simply, owned very little, and ate a vegetarian diet. in india, gandhi's form of protest was called the "non-cooperation movement." he urged indians to boycott british education systems and leave government jobs. the movement was very popular, and in part to stop its spread, the british controlled government arrested him. after a few years, he was released and became active in politics again. he inspired many to follow him on marches to protest various taxes. on one such march, thousands followed him 240 miles over 24 days to the sea to protest a salt tax. this march set the example of non-violent resistance to the government that others in the country followed. eventually india won independence from britain, in large part because of gandhi work. gandhi's model of resistance and reform was creative, appealing, and successful. as a result, dr. martin luther king looked to gandhi when the time came to find a way to resist segregation in the south. the lunch counter protests, famous for the passive response to anger, and even violence, aimed to end the separation enforced by laws in some regions of the south. king also organized walks, marches, and bus rides that were meant to bring attention to the issues facing african americans. these forms of protest were directly modeled on gandhi's, but king took them straight to the source of oppression. where gandhi's protests created awareness and built momentum, king's protests were in the face of great hatred and fear. the passive, non-violent protests were ultimately effective, mainly because the passive response to violence cast the opposition as brutes. however, change came slowly and at the cost of many lives. king remained committed to peaceful protest, however, until his death. king learned from gandhi, expanding on what worked, applying old techniques to a new problem. gandhi owed his philosophy, in part, to a new england poet who loved the woods. read this sentence from part 2: like thoreau, he lived simply, owned very little, and ate a vegetarian diet. what is the point of this sentence? gandhi and thoreau had similar childhoods. gandhi had many admirable qualities. thoreau and gandhi were very similar. thoreau had a simple life compared to others.
