That same year, the very concept of bloomers caused the Board of School Trustees in the village of College Point, New York, to take an unusual vote. It seems that three female teachers in the village school system made a practice of riding their bicycles to work, and the trustees were aghast. So they voted to prohibit female teachers from riding to and from school. Which statement best fits in the "Cause” portion of this chart? The school board asked female teachers to stop cycling to school. Several female teachers were injured while cycling to school. The school board was offended by female teachers wearing bloomers. Several female teachers protested against others cycling in bloomers.

Answer:

The school board was offended by female teachers wearing bloomers.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be viewed as the cause that suits the excerpt of the chart. The text makes reference to a period when women were abused and few women decided to make an effort against all odds in doing some thing about it. These decisions and efforts were gravely penalized by men. Thus, the text provides an instance of this harsh period for women. Three female teachers steered to school putting on bloomers- a unique garment that is put on in order to ride bikes but the apparel was tight - . It made it easy for the teachers' legs to be seen. The male leaders from the school board got charged with shock and disgust ( appalled ) and banned female teachers from using a bicycle as a means of transport to work.
