Answer 2

Answer: The right answer is the B) The author repeats words with positive connotations to help emphasize her point.

Explanation: In this excerpt from one the earliest feminist works, British author Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) is talking about the rights and duties of men. She is repeating words with positive connotations - reason, virtue, and knowledge - in order to help emphasize her point, namely, that reason is a distinguishing feature of men, and when reason is exercised knowledge and virtue flow naturally, but, as she then contends, unfortunately prejudices "have clouded reason" and men are using reason to justify prejudices.
