Answer 2

Answer: D. To strongly defend her position

Explanation: In "An Aristocracy of Sex" Susan B. Anthony refers to her opposition as an "odious aristocracy" to strongly defend her position. Anthony had been struggling for black and women's rights. But, she was enraged when the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution in 1868 granted vote for black men. Universal male vote imposed gender as a basis for voting. She argued that the government was not a democracy but an aristocracy of sex.
