Read the excerpt from a history of women’s suffrage by stanton, anthony, and gage. it would be nearer the truth to say the [gender] difference indicates different duties in the same sphere, seeing that man and woman were evidently made for each other, and have shown equal capacity in the ordinary range of human duties. in governing nations, leading armies, piloting ships across the sea, rowing life-boats in terrific gales; in art, science, invention, literature, woman has proved herself the complement of man in the world of thought and action. this difference does not compel us to spread our tables with different food for man and woman, nor to provide in our common schools a different course of study for boys and girls. sex pervades all nature, yet the male and female tree and vine and shrub rejoice in the same sunshine and shade. the earth and air are free to all the fruits and flowers, yet each absorbs what best ensures its growth. which statement best summarizes the authors’ ideas? a.)the differences between men and women allow them to balance one another, and they should be considered as equal as they are in nature. b.)there are differences between men and women that should be more considered when determining what boys and girls learn in school. c.)men and women are different, and they perform different duties throughout history, school, and nature. d.)men and women have served different roles in government and society, but women will soon prove their superiority when they have rights.

The correct answer is A.

The statement that best summarizes the author's ideas is:

" The differences between men and women allow them to balance one another, and they should be considered as equal as they are in nature. "

The author explains that men and women are, indeed, different, and that because of that, they complement one another. However, the author supports the idea that, just because they are different in some aspects, it doesn't mean that men and women should not be treated equally since "the male and female tree and vine and shrub rejoice in the same sunshine and shade".

a is correct on edge

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
