Half of this biocontainment operation was going to be news containment. C. J. Peters's comments to The Washington Post were desi

gned to create an impression that the situation was under control, safe, and not all that interesting. C. J. was understating the gravity of the situation. But he could be very smooth when he wanted, and he used his friendliest voice with the reporters, assuring them over the telephone that there really was no problem, just kind of a routine technical situation. Somehow the reporters concluded that the sick monkeys had been "destroyed as a precaution" when in fact the nightmare, and the reason for troops, was that the animals hadn't been destroyed.

Which sentence in this excerpt from Elizabeth Cady Stanton's speech "Solitude of Self" conveys that it is important for women to
seraphim [7410]
The relevant answer is: The education enabling her to fulfill responsibilities in the broadest domain of human benefit will equally prepare her for any specific role she may be required to undertake. In this excerpt, Elizabeth Cady Stanton expresses dissatisfaction with the notion that women's education is defined by their roles as mothers, daughters, wives, or sisters. This perspective persists even for women who do not embody these roles (e.g., those without children or spouses). In contrast, men's education is approached by recognizing them as individuals. She posits that whatever profession women choose, having an education equips them to execute their tasks far more effectively than if they were uneducated.
