    During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and participated in a large number of  reform movements, including  movements to reorganize the  prison system, improve education, ban the sale of alcohol, grant rights to people who were denied them, and, most importantly, free   slaves.   Some   women   saw   similarities   in   the   social   status   of   women   and   slaves.  Woman like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone were feminists and abolitionists who supported the rights of both women and   blacks.  A number of  male abolitionists,  including William Lloyd Garrison   and Wendell Phillips, also supported the rights of women to speak and to participate equally with men in antislavery  activities.  Probably more   than any other   movement,  abolitionism offered women a previously denied entry into politics. They became  involved primarily in order to better their living conditions and improve the conditions of others.

     When the civil war ended in 1865, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution adopted in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to women. Discouraged but resolved, feminists worked tirelessly to influence more and more women to demand the right to vote. In 1869, the Wyoming Territory had yielded to demands by feminists, but the states on the East Coast   resisted   more   stubbornly   than   before.   A   women’s   suffrage   bill   had   been   presented   to   every Congress   since   1878,   but  it   continually   failed   to   pass   until   1920,   when   the Nineteenth   Amendment granted women the right to vote.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions. ( from 51 to 60).

     Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two- thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has driven egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several    alternatives   to  eating   regular  eggs.   One    alternative  is  to  eat  substitute  eggs.   These   eggs substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage   of     having   low   cholesterol   rates,   and   they   can   be   scrambled   or   used   in   banking.   One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called “designer” eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low- flat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diet, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans. 

    Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that is not the type of eggs that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certainly dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.
