The sentence that showed hypocrisy of the American government in regards to women's suffrage was “Behold our Uncle Sam floating the banner with one hand, ‘Taxation without representation is tyranny,’ and with the other seizing the billions of dollars paid in taxes by women to whom he refuses ‘representation.’” (paragraph 5).

How did this show hypocrisy?

The American government showed great pride in showing that it didn't tax people without them having a say in government unlike the British when they colonized the U.S.

This was hypocritical because the U.S. took taxes from women and yet did not allow them to vote which meant they had no say in government.

In conclusion, option D is correct.
