Question

Change. Mary Lewanika, a student living in rural Zambia, is having a profound experience in being empowered to steer her own course. At 17, in 2009, Lewanika was the very first student to receive a World Bicycle Relief bike. That day she said she felt safer already on the long, sometimes dangerous path to and from school.

Answer:

The type of evidence the author uses to support her argument is:

C. an example

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage we are analyzing here was taken from the book "Wheels of Change," by American author Sue Macy, born in 1954. However, the passage itself was not written by Macy. It belongs to a foreword written by Leah Missbach Day.

The purpose of the passage is to provide an example of how bicycles can empower women and how, especially in poorer nations, it is more than just a recreational means of transportation. Mary Lewanika, mentioned in the example, is living evidence of that. Owning a bike made an enormous difference in her life. The path to and from school was dangerous, so riding a bike would allow her to move faster along it. That meant she could stay in school.
