Cevap

In 1918, women over the age of 30 were given the right to vote, and in 1928, women were given the right to vote at the same age as men.
The correct statement accurately reflects the two major milestones in women's voting rights: the initial granting of the vote to women over 30 in 1918, followed by the equalisation of the voting age with men (at age 21) in 1928.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the legislative milestone for women in 1918.
The Representation of the People Act 1918 gave women over the age of 30 the right to vote.
This establishes the first half of the correct historical timeline.
2
Identify the legislative milestone for women in 1928.
The Equal Franchise Act 1928 gave women the right to vote at the same age as men (which was 21 at the time).
This establishes the second half of the correct historical timeline and distinguishes it from later reforms like equal pay laws.
