Persuasion in Susan B. Anthony's "On Women's Right to Vote"

Question 5 • English 7 - LIU Summer

Which excerpt from Marian Anderson’s “Gifts of Speech” is factual evidence in her argument?

Answer

I welcome this opportunity to send you a heartfelt message from our women workers in the United States.

In our country also as in yours, we are having an industrial revolution to meet war needs.

We have, in this country, about four million women in war jobs, less than a fourth of all our women workers.

American women . . . have a greater pride as workers. They have a new feeling of unity.

Explanation

Factual evidence gives a specific, verifiable detail that supports an argument. Choice C states that about four million women in the United States have war jobs and compares them with the total number of women workers. The other excerpts mainly express a welcome or describe women’s feelings, rather than provide concrete evidence.
