The correct answer is B. I should like to see the time come when women shall help to make the laws. I should like to see . . . the ballot, in the hands of women.

Explanation:

Ellipsis the use of a set of three dots (...) used to show a part of a speech or writing is being omitted mainly because the word or set of words omitted are unnecessary, this also makes quotes shorter by only including the relevant part. The correct use of ellipsis implies only using the ellipsis when words have been omitted and placing the ellipsis where these words were omitted not at the beginning or the end of the quote. Considering this, the quotation that uses an ellipsis correctly is B " I should like to see the time come when women shall help to make the laws. I should like to see . . . the ballot, in the hands of women" as the words "that whiplash," from Mark Twain have been omitted and the ellipsis (...) has been placed where these words were.
