Read the following passage about Susan B. Anthony. Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Susan Brownell Anthony was born on February 15, 1820, in Massachusetts. When she was seven years old, her family moved to New York. Susan received her education at a school her father ran. As soon as Susan finished school, she went right to work. She became a teacher in New York in 1839. In those days, very few women worked outside their homes. While Susan was teaching there, she earned just one-fifth of the pay a man got in the same job. She knew this was not fair. Susan wanted fair treatment as well as equal pay, so she devoted herself to the rights of women and supported complete equality between men and women. In 1851, Susan met Elizabeth Cady Stanton. They became very good friends and worked together for over 50 years fighting for women’s rights. In 1868, Susan, together with Elizabeth, published The Revolution, which was a weekly journal about women’s rights and suffrage. At that time, women were not given the vote because they were considered to be ‘incapable of rational thought’. She became vice-president-at-large of the National Woman’s Suffrage Association (NWSA) from 1869 until 1892, when she became president. On November 5th, 1872, Susan was arrested for voting illegally in the presidential election. She was charged a fine but she wouldn’t pay it. When Susan died on March 13th, 1906, women in four states had the right to vote. Fourteen years later, the Nineteenth Amendment gave all American women that right. Susan B. Anthony was honored on the US dollar coin in 1979.
When did the US government pass the Nineteenth Amendment?
1906
1920
1892
1979

GIVING BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY
Although you may have busy lives, helping the community is something that you should always make time for. Giving back not only helps you feel good, but it also brings many benefits to those around you. By participating in those meaningful voluntary activities, you can also make new friends, connect with the community, learn new skills, and even develop your career. There are many ways to give back to the community.
Cleaning up your neighborhood is helpful to both the community and the environment. By picking up trash and doing some yard work, you can make your area a more pleasant place to live. Neighborhood cleanup is proof that even small acts of kindness can make a huge difference.
Another way is to care about your neighbors and the people around you. By taking some time to get to know your neighbors, you can find out more about the challenges they face and develop ways to help them. Whether the solution is planning a budget, doing some grocery shopping, or even having a brief chat, a little effort can make a real change in their lives.
If you have some extra money on hand, then consider donating a small amount to a local charity. Before you do, however, make sure that your charity of choice is a real one. Even by donating your unwanted possessions, you can help someone in need. You may also consider donating unwanted items to charity shops, or contributing unused food to a food bank.
It is not easy to find a real and reliable charity to give donations to.
You can help the neighbors simply by spending time talking to them or helping them buy groceries.
You can make donations to charity only when you have a lot of money.
Donating fruits and vegetables is not a good idea.
Helping the community is beneficial to both the community and the volunteers.
