3. ACT BR: Write what’s in red.
In 1916, as the Democratic Party’s national convention met in
St. Louis, Missouri, to nominate candidates for the
presidency and vice-presidency and to establish a platform, a
set of positions on issues. Therefore, suffragists (those who
advocated extending voting rights to women) wanted the Democrats
to support women’s right to vote.
A. NO CHANGE
B. Similarly, suffragists
C. However, suffragists
D. Suffragists

4. The best answer is D. No transitional word is needed here because the sentence introduces information about the suffragists that is not directly linked back to the preceding sentence.
The best answer is NOT A because the transitional word Therefore suggests that the national convention itself caused the suffragists "to support women's right to vote."
The best answer is NOT B because the transitional word Similarly incorrectly suggests that information about the suffragists' interest in voting rights is similar to the information about the national convention in the preceding sentence.
The best answer is NOT C. The transitional word However incorrectly suggests that the information about the suffragists in this new sentence is in opposition to the information in the preceding sentence.

F. NO CHANGE
G. stairs stood a woman
H. stairs stood a woman,
