a. women were apprehensive about making demands for new political rights.

b. women believed that all members of society would benefit from women’s equal rights.

c. women did not want men to participate in their movement for political rights.

d. women argued in favor of equal rights based on emotion rather than reason.

Explanation:

• Option A: The sources (rally photo, suffrage flier) show women actively advocating for voting rights, not being apprehensive. Eliminate A.
• Option B: The women’s suffrage movement (supported by both sources) emphasized that granting women equal political rights (like voting) would benefit society as a whole (e.g., better governance, moral progress). This aligns with the movement’s goals.
• Option C: The sources don’t suggest excluding men; many suffrage efforts had male supporters, and the flier/photo don’t imply this. Eliminate C.
• Option D: The suffrage movement used logical arguments (e.g., women’s citizenship, societal benefits) and not just emotion. The flier likely presents reasoned claims, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. Women believed that all members of society would benefit from women’s equal rights.
