What is the direct relationship between paragraph one and paragraph nine?

1. That women should embrace their weaker qualities and find a way to use as strength.
2. That health of mind and body, and intellect, can allow women to govern in ways they may not realize.
3. That men will always be superior in certain areas.
4. That women will always be weaker in certain ways.
5. That women can be every bit the mental superior of their male relatives.

Answer 1 fails because Wollstonecraft condemns the idea of embracing traditional feminine qualities. Answers 3 and 4 fail because neither paragraph illustrates a contest between the two sexes, though that may be implied throughout the essay. Answer 5 isn't far from true, but that passage appears in another paragraph. That leaves Answer 2 as the best answer.
