Read the passage and examine the text in bold. Then, answer the question.

I always loved my grandfather's explanations of our seasons, "This is the country of three seasons. From June on to November it lies hot, still, and unbearable, sick with violent and unrelenting storms; then on until April, it is chill, quiet, (bold)⇒and drinks its scant rain(bold) and scanter snows. From April to the hot season again, it is blossoming, radiant, and a seductress." His months were only approximate, later or earlier the rain-laden wind may drift up the water gate of the Colorado River from the Gulf and bring to us our heat, chill, or radiance.

Women" across the image of the king's face on a
penny, it sent a forceful and shocking message.

appeared on one side, while the image of Brittania

to vote in 1918, and in 1928 the Equal Franchise Act
extended the right CO vote to all women over the age
of 21.

In Britain in the 1880s, roughly 60 percent of the male
population had the right to
vote, but no women at all
were able to do so.
