Choice A is the best answer. The authors of Passage 1 argue that while restricting women's freedoms may be "impossible to explain" (line 7"apparently... abstract"), this restriction is necessary for society's overall happiness (lines 13-17"us...sanction."). Wollstonecraft, however, strongly challenges this argument, asking the authors of Passage 1, "Who made man the exclusive judge" of which free-doms are granted to women, and likening society's male leaders to tyrants as they deny women their "civil and political rights" and leave them "groping in the dark" (lines 78-88"promote...dark").
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not characterize the over-all relationship between Passage 1 and Passage 2.
