Read the excerpt from a vindication of the rights of woman. in this style, argue tyrants of every denomination, from the weak king to the weak father of a family; they are all eager to crush reason; yet always assert that they usurp its throne only to be useful. do you not act a similar part, when you force all women, by denying them civil and political rights, to remain immured in their families groping in the dark? for surely, sir, you will not assert, that a duty can be binding which is not founded on reason? if indeed this be their destination, arguments may be drawn from reason: and thus augustly supported, the more understanding women acquire, the more they will be attached to their duty—comprehending it—for unless they comprehend it, unless their morals be fixed on the same immutable principle as those of man, no authority can make them discharge it in a virtuous manner. what is the central idea of the excerpt? women must be able to choose their roles rather than being forced into them. women must complete their household duties for the good of their families. women should be allowed to discuss their ideas with other women. women should strive to allow their emotions to govern their choices.

The correct answer is A.

The central idea of this excerpt from " Vindication of the Rights of Woman" is  that women should be able to choose their roles in society.

By denying women the right to participate in civil and political activities, the government is submitting them as Kings used to do with their subjects. This excerpt shows that women are entitled to choose the role they want to play in their society and for that, the need to fully comprehend what it implies.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
