Answer
The correct inference is **Communities in the West were more open to the idea of woman's suffrage than elsewhere in the country.** A map showing suffrage before 1920 (the 19th Amendment granting nationwide suffrage) would likely show a cluster of states in the West granting women the right to vote before eastern or southern states. This demonstrates greater acceptance of the idea in the West.The other options are not supportable inferences based solely on a map showing suffrage before 1920:* **States with high immigrant populations were most likely to be open to the idea of woman's suffrage:** The map itself wouldn't directly show immigrant populations. A correlation might exist, but the map wouldn't be the evidence.* **American women weren't really committed to the idea of suffrage before 1920:** The map shows *which states* granted suffrage, not the level of activism or commitment by women. Women were actively fighting for suffrage across the country, even in states where it hadn't been granted yet.* **Women along the East Coast were aggressive in their campaign for suffrage:** While this might be true, a map showing western states granting suffrage earlier would actually suggest the opposite. Eastern women *were* active, but the map would point to the West being *more* open to the idea.
