B. Read the passage and choose the best answers to the questions. Mark your choice on the answer sheet.
During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organised and participated in a large number of reform
movements, including movements to reorganise the prison system, improve education, ban the sale of alcohol, and,
most importantly, to free the slaves. Some women saw similarities in the social status of women and slaves. Women like
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone were feminists and abolitionists who supported the rights of both women and
blacks. A number of abolitionists, including William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Philips, also supported the rights of
women to speak and participate equally with men in antislavery activities. Probably more than any other movement,
abolitionism offered women a previously denied entry into politics. They became involved primarily in order to better their
living conditions and the conditions of others.
When the Civil War ended in 1865, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution adopted in 1868 and
1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to women. Discouraged but resolved, feminists influenced more
and more women to demand the right to vote. In 1869 the Wyoming Territory had yielded to demand by feminists, but
eastern states resisted more stubbornly than before. A women’s suffrage bill had been presented to every Congress
since 1878 but it continually failed to pass until 1920, when the Nineteenth Amendment granted women the right to vote.
Notes: - suffrage (n): quyền bầu cử
- stubbornly (adv): một cách ngoan cố

A. To improve the conditions of life that existed at the time
