Read and compare the excerpts from the two accounts of Sojourner Truth: Speech to the Ohio Women’s Conference to answer the follow-up questions. From account by Frances Dana Gage, Anti-Slavery Standard:

Then they talk about this thing in the head; what's this they call it? [Member of audience

whispers, "intellect."] That's it, honey. What's that got to do with women's rights or negroes'

rights? If my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?

From account by Marius Robinson, Anti-Slavery Bugle:

As for intellect, all I can say is, if a woman have a pint, and a man a quart—why can't she

have her little pint full? You need not be afraid to give us our rights for fear we will take too much—for we can't take more than our pint'll hold.

Part A

How are the paragraphs the same and different?

A. They are both about the same topic, but the first account is more formal.

B. They both make the same comparisons, but the second paragraph is more formal.

C. They are both about intellect, but the first one uses an analogy.

D. They both make an analogy, but the first one is only about African American people’s rights.

Part B

Which excerpt from the passage demonstrates how the first account has a different effect than the second account?

A. “Member of the audience whispers…”

B. “You need not be afraid to give us our rights…”

C. “That’s it, honey.”

When lawrence saw the posters for the circus hanging on the bulletin board, as he swept up the trimmings at slim's barbershop, he knew he would be taking his little cousins. they loved animals, and he was looking forward to seeing the smiles on their faces as the circus performers amazed them with their stunts. but sweeping up hair clippings didn't pay a whole lot. lawrence spent 45 dollars just getting tickets. but it was worth it to see his cousins' faces. the day finally came and everyone was excited as they walked into that big circus tent. but lawrence soon realized that he and his cousins would be thirsty and hungry. as they sat in their seats, the drink vendor walked by selling beverages. desperately thirsty, lawrence asked him how much a lemonade would cost, and the drink vendor said, "eleven dollars each." lawrence replied, "oh, that's it? just eleven dollars? what a great deal for one cup of lemonade. that's totally worth it." the drink vendor walked away. which type of irony is used?
