What is a comprehension passage?

In a comprehension passage, some questions are given that follow the passage. The questions are to be answered by using the data given in the passage, even if it differs from real-life facts.

Now,

  • According to Stanton, men possess "high carnival," or all the power, and establish the laws in "the church, the state, and the family," which represses women in society (lines 16-31).
  • According to Stanton, men are completely in charge of women and "overpower the feminine aspect everywhere" (line 18).
  • The reasons why Answers B, C, and D are inaccurate are that Stanton does not use the word "high carnival" to imply that the time period is unrestrained or freewheeling, that moral standards have fallen to scandalous levels, or that women's influence is increasing.
  • Hence, option A is the correct option to emphasize what Stanton sees and why she uses "high carnival" term.
