Question

i think that ’twixt the negroes of the south and the women at the north, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon.
—“ain’t i a woman?,”
sojourner truth
what is the argument presented in this quotation?
white men are ready for equal rights.
white men will always be in charge.
white men need to accept equal rights.
northern women have no opinion on the issue

Explanation:

The quotation from "Ain't I a Woman?" by Sojourner Truth discusses the situation when Black women in the South and white women in the North talk about rights, implying white men will face a problem. The argument is that white men need to accept equal rights (as the push for rights by different groups will challenge their status). Let's analyze options:

• "White men are ready for equal rights" is incorrect as the quote implies they'll be "in a fix", not ready.
• "White men will always be in charge" contradicts the idea of them being in a fix.
• "Northern women have no opinion on the issue" is wrong as the quote says Northern women are talking about rights.
• "White men need to accept equal rights" fits because the combined push for rights (from Southern Black women and Northern white women) will force white men to confront and accept equal rights.

Answer:

White men need to accept equal rights.
