* Read the following passage and answer the questions. {11-13}
  Eleanor Roosevelt was the First Lady of the United States for some twelve years, but she was much more than that. Long before she became First Lady, she was working for a better society. Her many activities included work to improve the lot of disadvantaged women and to help all women develop their potential. In 1902, at about the time she became involved with Franklin Roosevelt, she began to work as a volunteer in one of New York's slum districts. There she taught young women who could not regularly attend school ______ their long working hours. This experience, Eleanor's first extended contact with poverty and its demands, helped shape her social conscience; it also exposed Franklin to real poverty for the first time. For some years after she was married, Eleanor was occupied with family obligations. As Franklin's career developed, she assumed more of the responsibilities of the wife of a government official. During this time, she did not join the widespread movement to help women get the vote. Even when Franklin voiced his support for women's suffrage in 1911, Eleanor 'considered men superior beings. " and she remained, as some critics assert, " anti-suffragette, and vigorously so.
