Explanation:

Analyze the Second Great Awakening

The Second Great Awakening was a Protestant religious revival during the early 19th century in the United States. It emphasized individual salvation, personal responsibility, and the belief that individuals could improve themselves and society. This religious fervor directly fueled various antebellum social reform movements, including abolitionism, women's rights, and especially the Temperance Movement.

Evaluate the third option

The quotation "What begins as a glass with friends soon devolves into poverty and disease and ultimately suicide" directly reflects the cultural attitudes of the Temperance Movement. Temperance advocates, heavily inspired by the religious revivalism of the Second Great Awakening, warned that alcohol consumption led to moral decay, poverty, domestic violence, and physical ruin.

Evaluate alternative options

• The first option ("My doctrine then is, that whatever it is morally right for man to do...") is a quote by Sarah Grimké regarding women's rights, which, while connected to reform, is more specific to early feminism.
• The second option ("Public roles as reformers...") describes the "separate spheres" ideology or "cult of domesticity" rather than the active, urgent moral reform spirit of the Awakening.
• The fourth option ("It is time to reject traditional ties to Great Britain's institutions...") relates to the Revolutionary era or the post-Revolutionary creation of American churches, rather than the 19th-century Second Great Awakening's focus on societal moral reform.

Answer:

• "My doctrine then is, that whatever it is morally right for man to do, it is morally right for woman to do."
• "Public roles as reformers and moral guides for society reflect traditional roles in the home."
• "What begins as a glass with friends soon devolves into poverty and disease and ultimately suicide." (Correct answer)
• "It is time to reject traditional ties to Great Britain's institutions and create our own denominations."
