Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is the experiences of someone else.

Explanation
Option 1: Logical, step-by-step reasoning

While Sojourner Truth does use logical reasoning in her speech, the specific excerpt provided does not primarily rely on a logical, step-by-step argument. Instead, it references historical and religious narratives.

Option 2: Her own personal experience

The excerpt does not focus on Sojourner Truth's personal experiences. Instead, it draws on broader historical and religious examples to make her point.

Option 3: The experiences of someone else

In the excerpt, Sojourner Truth references biblical stories and figures such as Eve, Mary, Martha, and Jesus. These are experiences and narratives from religious texts, not her own personal experiences. She uses these stories to support her argument about the role and value of women.

Option 4: Knowledge found in a book

While the Bible is a book, the focus here is not on the knowledge found in a book per se, but rather on the experiences and stories of the individuals within those texts. Therefore, the primary basis for her argument is the experiences of others as depicted in the Bible.
