Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the Reconstruction Amendments:

• The 13th Amendment abolished slavery.
• The 14th Amendment granted citizenship to all persons born in the U.S. (including former slaves).
• The 15th Amendment granted the right to vote (suffrage) to all citizens, including former slaves.

Checking the options:

• First option: "abolished... citizenship... vote" matches the historical facts.
• Second option: "continued... land... vote" is incorrect (13th didn't continue slavery).
• Third option: "abolished... senate seats... land" is incorrect (14th isn't about senate seats, 15th not about land).
• Fourth option: Incomplete, but the first is correct.

Answer:

A. abolished... citizenship... vote
