Political Cartoon GED Practice Question

Hey! Hope all of you are studyin’ hard for your GED test. I really can get into these political cartoons. Some of them don’t make sense, but some of them are pretty funny. It’s funny to see cartoons on the GED test, but I guess the whole idea is to make the GED about stuff in real life, and every day there’s new real-life political cartoons that people make, and people like me read! I never used to read them… that’s the good thing about the GED. I do things studying for the GED that I never did before.

So, here’s the GED Practice Question for you. It starts with a political cartoon, a real old one. This is from the Library of Congress, at http://memory.loc.gov/learn/features/timeline/progress/suffrage/cartoon.html

GED-Women_Sphere_Cartoon

It reads: Woman Devotes Her Time to Gossip and Clothes Because She Has Nothing Else to Talk About. Give Her Broader Interests and She Will Cease to Be Vain and Frivolous.

Now the question:

The cartoonist’s point of view is that:

1) women shouldn’t vote because they’re too frivolous.

2) women will gossip about voting if they’re allowed to vote.

3) giving women more rights will stop gossip and being frivolous.

4) women don’t have time for anything but gossip and clothes.

5) none of the above.

I’ll get you an answer next time!
