Question

Read the excerpt from Chapter 3 of Wheels of Change .

In the 1890s, riding a bicycle in traditional clothing could be hazardous to a woman's health. Witness this all-too-typical account of a female cyclist whose adventure came to an abrupt end: "The wind was behind me, the road good, with just the least bit of down-slope, and I was skimming along like a bird, when there was an awful tug at my dress and a cracking sound," recalled the unnamed woman, who was quoted in the journal Sporting Life in October 1891. "Before I knew what was the matter I found myself lying in the road with the safety on the top of me.”

Which best characterizes the effect of the woman wearing “traditional clothing”?

Long-term effect: Females were no longer permitted to cycle.
Long-term effect: The rider was injured while riding her bicycle.
Short-term effect: Females no longer wore dresses while cycling.
Short-term effect: The rider fell off the bicycle after her skirt got caught.

Answer:

↣ D.) Short-term effect: The rider fell off the bicycle after her skirt got caught.

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be determined that the best answer to this question is option D because the female cyclist recounts that she fell off her bicycle after her dress tugged on the bike. In addition, this would only be a short-term injury and not cause any long-term damage in the long run.
