Answer 1

"In the 1880s and 1890s, female bicycle racers faced a variety of opponents, including males, horses, and an occasional dog."

Reason: It states a factual, neutral point about Chapter 4’s subject (the kinds of opponents women racers encountered), making it suitable for an objective summary.
