Read the excerpt from "votes for women,” a speech by mark twain from 1901.

i should like to see the time come when women shall to make the laws. i should like to see that whiplash, the ballot, in the hands of women.

which quotation correctly uses an ellipsis to shorten twain's words without changing their meaning?

i should like to see the time come when women shall to make the laws. i should like to see that whiplash, the ballot . .
i should like to see the time come when women shall to make the laws. i should like to see . . the ballot, in the hands of women.
i should like to see the time come when women shall to make the laws . . i should like to see that whiplash, the ballot, in the hands of women.
i should like to see the time come when . . shall to make the laws. i should like to see that whiplash, the ballot, in the hands of women.

The correct answer is B. I should like to see the time come when women shall help to make the laws. I should like to see . . . the ballot, in the hands of women.

Explanation:

In writing, the ellipsis (...) is used to omit words in a text, especially when quoting. Additionally, the ellipsis can be used only to omit words rather than punctuation marks and the words omitted should not modify the general meaning of the sentence. According to this, the only option that uses ellipsis correctly is "I should like to see the time come when women shall help to make the laws. I should like to see . . . the ballot, in the hands of women" as in this, the ellipsis indicates the omission of "the whiplash" and the omission of these words does not modify the general meaning. Also, other options are incorrect as the ellipsis does not omit words or the words omitted change the meaning.
