Read the excerpt from a vindication of the rights of
woman
which statement paraphrases wollstonecraft's argument?
in this style, argue tyrants of every denomination, from the
weak king to the weak father of a family; they are all eager to
crush reason; yet always assert that they usurp its throne
only to be useful. do you not act a similar part, when you
force all women, by denying them civil and political rights, to
remain immured in their families groping in the dark? for
surely, sir, you will not assert, that a duty can be binding
which is not founded on reason?
by refusing women rights, men are enslaving women in
their current roles.
men strive to be kings and fathers because they prefer
leadership roles.
by ignoring women's demands, men are weakening the
family structure.
women are toiling in the dark, unaware of new laws that
are being considered.

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
