Question

Read the excerpt from Ward’s The Common Sense of Bicycling: Bicycling for Ladies. Now, the question of that other foot. By this time which "the other foot" is will have become quite evident; it is always the foot to which attention for the moment in not directed, and which consequently may meet unexpected disaster—a lost pedal, perhaps, with its accompanying inconveniences. Which evaluation for clarity is most valid?

Answer 1

Answer:Ward's passage is clear, but Korns's passage would be easier to follow with more precise language.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt from Korns's "How to Ride":

"They who pitch the body forward with every downward push, make the bicycle appear to be a treadmill, requiring so many horsepower to move it. Rocking from side to side creates a chafing sensation—to those looking on. Saddles too low, toes in, knees out, elbows high, head low, back humped, hurts the sale of bicycles."

Clarity gets affected in Korn's passage when he's trying to describe the whole picture when cyclist pitch the body forward but its arguments are not conclusive.

Expressions like "requiring so many horsepower to move" or "chafing sensation" are not accurate.

Also, arguments do not follow to its conclusion about the sale of bicycles when he is talking about a cycling movement at the beginning of the excerpt.
