“Steam-engines furnish the means not only of their support but of their multiplication. They create a vast demand for fuel; and, while they lend their powerful arms to drain the pits and to raise the coals, they call into employment multitudes of miners, engineers, shipbuilders, and sailors, and cause the construction of canals and railways. Thus therefore, in enabling these rich fields of industry to be cultivated to the utmost, they leave thousands of fine arable fields free for the production of food to man, which must have been otherwise allotted to the food of horses. Steam-engines moreover, by the cheapness and steadiness of their action, fabricate cheap goods, and procure in their exchange a liberal supply of the necessaries and comforts of life produced in foreign lands.”
---Andrew Ure, London publication, Philosophy of Manufactures, 1835

Refer to the following information.
Woman, wake up; the bell of reason is being heard throughout the whole universe; discover your rights. Enslaved man has multiplied his strength, [but] having become free, he has become unjust to his companion. Oh, women, women! When will you cease to be blind? What advantage have you received from the Revolution? A more pronounced scorn, a more marked disdain. If our leaders persist, courageously oppose the force of reason to their empty pretentions of superiority. Regardless of what barriers confront you, it is in your power to free yourselves!
Olympe de Gouges, "Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen," 1791
The independence? Nothing of what I hoped for was achieved. I had expected that my children would be able to have an education, but they did not get it. We were poor peasants then, we are poor peasants now. Nothing has changed. Everything is the same. The only thing is that we are free, the war is over, we work without fear—but apart from that, nothing has changed.
Halima Ghomri, interviewed in the 1970s, after Algeria's war of independence
Which of the following observations about revolutions and gender is best supported by the first passage?
A. Revolutionary progressivism does not always concern itself with gender equality.
B. Women typically assume leadership roles during times of revolution.
C. Women rarely support revolutions and therefore receive little benefit from them.
D. Revolutionary movements are generally uninterested in women's rights.
What is A, Revolutionary progressivism does not always concern itself with gender equality.
This question requires close reading and interpretation. While in both texts, women are expressing dissatisfaction with the outcomes of revolutions they have taken part in, their complaints do not support A or D, and certainly not C. Answer A best captures the general trend—the tendency of many revolutions to neglect women's concerns—without overstating the case.
