Explanation:

The Declaration of Sentiments written in the first women's rights convention in 1848 stated the demands of women for equality by showing the social, political and cultural inequality. In the excerpt presented, it is explained moral was different for men and women because some "delinquencies" or negative behaviors were tolerated in men but not in women; this can be seen in "moral delinquencies which exclude women from society, are not only tolerated but deemed of little account in man".

An example of this is adultery because if a woman committed adultery she was excluded from society (ostracized) and considered a sinner; however, men committing adultery were common and lead to no social punishment. This shows inequality in morals or parameters of behavior for men and women. Thus, the one that is an example of the sentiment in the excerpt is "A woman who committed adultery was ostracized more than a man who did this same act".
