Which amendment explicitly extended suffrage to women?

• A. 17th Amendment
• B. 20th Amendment
• C. 18th Amendment
• D. 19th Amendment

Answer: (D)

This question tests your understanding of amendments that expand who can vote. The amendment that guarantees the right to vote cannot be denied or abridged on account of sex, making it possible for women to vote nationwide. This direct protection of women’s suffrage is why it’s the correct choice. The other amendments deal with different issues: one changed how senators are chosen, another established prohibition, and another set the dates for when Congress and the president take office. Those topics are unrelated to extending voting rights to women, so they don’t fit as the answer.
