Which word best describes anthony's tone in this excerpt?
read the excerpt from susan b. anthony's "on women's
right to vote."
it shall be my work this evening to prove to you that in thus
voting, i not only committed no crime, but instead, simply
exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all
united states citizens by the national constitution, beyond
the power of any state to deny
o uncertain
o confident
o flattering
o anxious

In the above excerpt, Susan B Anthony's tone is confident.

Explanation: Susan B Anthony was a suffragist and a women's rights activist. In the above speech, the confidence of her tone is revealed from the fact that she is not asking the government or the society to consider giving voting rights to the women. She is not begging for her right to vote rather she is audaciously telling that she will exercise her right to vote. Also, it is important to note the conviction with which she states that voting is her inherent right and to prove her point she invokes the authority of the US constitution.
