Read the claim. Which statement is the strongest counterclaim to the
claim?
Claim: The suffragette-defaced penny is the most
historically significant object because it represents the
true beginnings of women's fight for the vote.
O The campaign for women's suffrage had actually
begun with the Great Reform Act of 1832, long before
the defaced penny was created.
O Many other tactics, such as letter bombings and
hunger strikes, were taking place at the same time
that the defaced penny was being circulated.
O The extremely slow process of redefining the British
political nation began in the 1820s and took many
decades to fully unfold.
O The defaced penny was not created until 1903, so it
could not possibly represent the true beginnings of
women's suffrage.
