Why (C) is not the answer and why B is correct? I think C is supported in L22-24, isn't it...??

Thank you

Hello,

The reason that (C) is incorrect is precisely the reason that (B) is correct.

Lines 21-24 say that when they were formed they were "originally philanthropic in function," but a year after they were formed, "by late 1792" these clubs "began to advocate for military participation."

So they were not founded for the purpose of advocating "for military participation for women," but rather as adjuncts to mens clubs and to be philanthropic.

Hey Strawberry,

Indeed, James nailed this one. The problem might be knowledge of the words "adjunct" ("a thing added to something else as a supplementary part") and "philanthropic" ("seeking to promote the welfare of others"), which make it clear that the clubs were not formed to advocate for military participation for women.

Thanks James!
