Answer 2

Answer:

Options that are consistent with the idea of equality are: Option B and Option D.

B: Decisions of the government affect women as well as men, therefore they also should have a say in choosing the rulers.

D: Women constitute half of humanity. You cannot subjugate them for long by denying them the right to vote

Explanation:

Option A which states that we shouldn’t disrespect women as they are mothers and so we should allow them to vote is more of an emotional appeal and doesn’t state equality. Option B is consistent with equality because it says that the decisions made by the government affect both men and women. Option C is also an emotional appeal, so it is not consistent with principle of equality.

Option D states that equal rights should be given to women as they constitute half of the population as men.
