Question

2. The Bicycle Empowerment Network (BEN) is an organisation

with two main aims to promote eco-friendly, healthy and low-
cost pedal power in underprivileged communities, and to create
jobs by giving people the chance to start up their own bicycle
workshops, called Bicycle Empowerment Centres (BEC). More
than 13000 bicycles - old and new - have been donated to BEN
from countries across the globe over the past decade. Not bad
for an organisation started by the aptly named Andrew Wheeldon,
who has a passion for peddling.

1.why does the article state that Andrew Wheelman is "aptly" named? The keyword will help you to understand what "aptly" means.​

Answer 1

The article stated that Andrew Wheeldon is aptly named because of the irony in his organization about bicycles and his love for peddling, all concerning 'wheels'.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the dictionary, the word "aptly" is defined as any action done in "a manner that is appropriate or suitable in the circumstance". This means that it is used to talk of things that are appropriate and clever for the circumstance.

Now, the passage talks of the Bicycle Empowerment Network (BEN) and how it was started by a man named "Andrew Wheeldon". So, looking at his name and the word "wheel", it is quite clever or even hilarious that the BEN is founded by a guy whose name has the word "wheel" on it, and also loves peddling too. So, one can say, in jest, that he was the right man to start the organization. He is suited for the job.
