Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the speaker's arguments in the provided text.
The speaker addresses the 'daughters of Africa' and asks them to 'awake! awake! arise!' and show they are endowed with 'noble and exalted faculties.'
This identifies the target audience and the primary action she is calling for.
2
Evaluate the speaker's stance on emigration mentioned in the text.
She notes that going to a 'foreign land' brings 'war and the famine,' thereby rejecting the idea of emigration as a solution.
This helps eliminate emigration/colonization as the advocated strategy.
3
Connect the call to 'distinguish yourselves' and show 'exalted faculties' to the options.
This directly supports the option emphasizing intellectual development, education, and active self-uplift within the United States.
This confirms the correct choice based on textual evidence.
