Question

which sentence of commentary (the sentence after the quote) fits best? another reason women should not be in combat is that they are not strong. for example, most women are \unable to carry a 100 lb rucksack for any substantial distance\ (ruthers 9). women are not as strong as men. men are stronger than women. woman bodies are made differently, therefore they are cant carry as much as a man. many women cannot carry 100 lbs very far.

Explanation:

The quote emphasizes women's lack of strength for combat (e.g., carrying a 100 lb rucksack). The option "Women are not as strong as men" directly ties to the argument about women's strength being insufficient, aligning with the quote's example. Other options either compare to men's strength (less direct to the quote's focus on women's inability) or repeat the example (not commentary).

Answer:

A. Women are not as strong as men.
