Answer
A

She was inspired by other activists’ speeches at an event in New York.
C
She was attempting to prove to her father that she was capable of studying law.
D
She was trying to promote the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment.

Explanation

Elizabeth Cady Stanton attended the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840, but women were excluded from taking part fully. That experience helped inspire her to organize a convention focused on women’s rights when she returned to the United States. So the correct choice is A: she was inspired to stand up for her rights after being shut out of an event in London.
