Read the excerpt from "On Women's Right to Vote," an 1873 speech by Susan B. Anthony. And when 100 or 1,000,000 people enter into a free government, they do not barter away their natural rights; they simply pledge themselves to protect each other in the enjoyment of them, through prescribed judicial and legislative tribunals. Which quotation correctly uses ellipsis to shorten Anthony's words?

And when . . . people enter into a free government, they do not barter away their natural rights; they simply pledge themselves to protect each other in the enjoyment of them, through prescribed judicial and legislative tribunals.

Explanation:

Ellipses are the use of (. . .) or dot dot dot as a means to omit some parts of the statement/ sentence. This is done when the whole sentence can be understood even without the presence of the omitted words.

Susan B. Anthony's speech "On Women's Right to Vote" was given after she was indicted for participating in the election process where women were not allowed. In her speech, she invoked the preamble to the United States' Constitution, and how it was addressed to everyone "we, the people" and not just to the male citizens.

The correct usage of an ellipse is the second sentence where the ellipsis is used to omit the actual figure provided. But this omission does not, in any way, change the intended meaning of the whole statement.

this doesnt make any sense imao
