Read the excerpt from "On Women’s Right to Vote” by Susan B. Anthony. The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons? And I hardly believe any of our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not. Being persons, then, women are citizens; and no state has a right to make any law, or to enforce any old law, that shall abridge their privileges or immunities. Hence, every discrimination against women in the constitutions and laws of the several states is today null and void.

Which sentence best incorporates direct quotations from the passage?

After asking the rhetorical question "Are women persons?" and noting that even opponents would be hard-pressed to argue that women are not persons, Anthony forcefully states her logical conclusion: "Being persons, then, women are citizens."
Anthony argues that Being persons, then, women are citizens; and no state has a right to make any law, or to enforce any old law, that shall abridge their privileges or immunities.
"Hence, every discrimination against women in the constitutions and laws of the several states is today null and void," and it is hard to argue with that conclusion.
Thus, since "women are citizens," “no state has a right to make any law, or to enforce any old law" that takes away the "privileges or immunities" of being a citizen.
