What type of a phrase "emancipate woman" is? IMO. woman is noun and emancipate is adjective modifying the noun . Is that correct?

When is it right to use gerund after "to"?
If you're looking at option D, we can't say dedicated to emancipate women.

that she was dedicated both to abolishing slavery nonviolently and to emancipate women

After dedicated to, we want either a noun (emancipation) or a gerund (emancipating), not the plain form of a verb (emancipate).

Here Idiom is Both X and Y (X & Y Should be Parallel), Eliminate A & B

In D abolishing slavery nonviolently & emancipate women are not parallel (Gerund & Verb)

In E both to X and to Y or to both X & Y is correct hence E is out

Hence C

Answer C.

(A) a dedication both to the nonviolent abolition of slavery as well as for women to be emancipated - X as well as Y should be Parallel.
(B) her being dedicated to both the nonviolent abolishing of slavery as well as for women’s emancipation - Same as A
(C) a dedication to both the nonviolent abolition of slavery and the emancipation of women - Correct. Both X and Y
(D) that she was dedicated both to abolishing slavery nonviolently and to emancipate women. Both verbs should be parallel, for Both X and Y construction.
(E) her dedication both to the nonviolent abolition of slavery and emancipation of women. Both X and Y, X should be parallel to Y


Thanks,

In keeping with her commitment to her Christian faith, Sojourner Truth demonstrated as a public speaker a dedication both to the nonviolent abolition of slavery as well as for women to be emancipated.

(A) a dedication both to the nonviolent abolition of slavery as well as for women to be emancipated INCORRECT BOTH X as well as Y is incorrect. Both and as well as usage in a single sentence is redundant
(B) her being dedicated to both the nonviolent abolishing of slavery as well as for women’s emancipation - INCORRECT usage of being. Also BOTH X as well as Y is incorrect. Both and as well as usage in a single sentence is redundant
(C) a dedication to both the nonviolent abolition of slavery and the emancipation of women CORRECT, BOTH X and Y form
(D) that she was dedicated both to abolishing slavery nonviolently and to emancipate women INCORRECT, BOTH TO X and TO Y form is not parallel. "To abolishing" and "To emancipate" are not parallel
(E) her dedication both to the nonviolent abolition of slavery and emancipation of women - INCORRECT, BOTH TO X and TO Y are not parallel

A VERBing that functions as a noun is called a gerund.
to abolishing = PREPOSITION + GERUND = MODIFIER
Here, to is a preposition, while abolishing is a gerund serving as the OBJECT of to.
abolishing = the NOUN to which Sojourner was dedicated
A prepositional phrase such as to abolishing is a MODIFIER.

to emancipate = VERB (infinitive)

A conjunction such as and may not connect a modifier to a verb.
Eliminate D.

oops! I thought it was to abolish vs to emancipate. Sorry for this silly question :) . I've still a query on this issue! What if the choice says:
(F) that she was dedicated both to abolish slavery nonviolently and to emancipate women
Does it make sense?

On top of what GMATGuruNY said, "she was dedicated ... to emancipate women" does not make sense.

It should be "she was dedicated ... to emancipating women."

Can someone verify whether the construction is correct or not?

In keeping with her commitment to her Christian faith,
Sojourner Truth (was) demonstrated as a public speaker (Seems to me that Verb was missing)
a dedication both to the nonviolent abolition of slavery as well as for women to be emancipated. (Wont there be comma before a dedication)

No verb is missing Soham. demonstrated is used as a verb.

For example:

Virat Kohli's century demonstrated his brilliance.

This is a correct sentence, and demonstrated is the main verb.

As per your example, it was clear that verb is demonstrated.

However, in the question, it did not seem that Sojourner Truth is like Sojourner's Truth. when I read/infer the sentence, it feels like someone demonstrated Sojourner Truth as a speaker. That part created the confusion.

Sure I understand Soham.

How about this example:

Virat Kohli demonstrated brilliance in making decisions.
- Clearly, demonstrated is a verb.

Now, let's change the above sentence to:

Virat Kohli demonstrated as a captain a brilliance in making decisions.
- Again, demonstrated is a verb. This sentence is basically equivalent to the first sentence, since as a captain is just a modifier, modifying Virat Kohli.

Similarly, notice this sentence:

Sojourner Truth demonstrated a dedication.
- Hopefully it is clear that demonstrated is a verb.

Now, let's change the above sentence to:

Sojourner Truth demonstrated as a public speaker a dedication.
- Again, demonstrated is a verb. This sentence is basically equivalent to the previous sentence, since as a public speaker is just a modifier, modifying Sojourner Truth.

Let's look at apparently wrong answers below
Quote:
(A) a dedication both to the nonviolent abolition of slavery as well as for women to be emancipated
(B) her being dedicated to both the nonviolent abolishing of slavery as well as for women’s emancipation
(E) her dedication both to the nonviolent abolition of slavery and emancipation of women


After eliminating Option A, B, & E for obvoius reasons, you are left with apparently two parallel choices - C & D.
Let's understand why D is wrong.

Quote:
(C) a dedication to both the nonviolent abolition of slavery and the emancipation of women
(D) that she was dedicated both to abolishing slavery nonviolently and to emancipate women


structure of D is:
both
to abolishing slavery nonviolently and --> is abolishing a verb or a gerund (noun)? --> a verb form is 'to abolish slavery non violently', thus, it is definitely a gerund
to emancipate women --> is emancipate a verb? Definitely Yes!

Hence, though phrases begin with 'to', they are not parallel because we have gerund in first phrase and verb in another

Conversely, in Option C, the nonviolent abolishing of slavery (noun) and the emancipation of women (noun) are parallel.

Hope my explanation helps you. You can appreciate by giving me kudos.

I would like to understand what is the issue with "she was dedicated ... to emancipate women"
emancipate means " to set free"

1. She was dedicated to set free women - I know this does not make sense.
2. She was dedicated to set women free ( What's the issue with is one)
3. She was dedicated to emancipating women ( She was dedicated to setting women free)

I want to understand what is the issue with Sentence 2.

Hi EducationAisle

Shouldn't "demonstrated" be mandatorily followed by "that" to stress upon what is being demonstrated, or is there no such rule?

Hi Naman, there is no "place" for "that" in the construct used in this sentence.

For example following is a correct sentence, and you can't really introduce a "that" after "demonstrated":

Lakshya Sen demonstrated his competence.

To introduce "that", we would have to change the sentence to:

Lakshya Sen demonstrated that he was competent.

Similarly, we either say:

Sojourner Truth demonstrated a dedication to both X and Y.

Or

Sojourner Truth demonstrated that she was dedicated to both X and Y.
