Question

Which best describes the purpose of Chapter 2 of Wheels of Change?

to tell readers about the controversies surrounding women who cycled
to inform readers about the invention of the bicycle and its rise in popularity
to educate readers about the health dangers associated with cycling
to persuade readers to take up activism on behalf of female cyclists

Answer 1

to inform readers about the invention of the bicycle and its rise in popularity

Chapter 2 primarily explains how the bicycle was developed and how it quickly became popular, rather than focusing on health risks, urging activism, or only on controversies about women cyclists.
