Which set of excerpts from Chapter 5 of Wheels of Change would best be placed in the graphic organizer?

In 1895, Stanton contributed an article to the American Wheelman celebrating this "wonderful new style of locomotion." In the article . . . she pointed out that cycling was increasing people's mobility, eliminating the cost of feeding and housing horses, and encouraging the building of good roads.
Willard saw parallels between learning to ride and learning to live. "I began to feel that myself plus the bicycle equaled myself plus the world, upon whose spinning wheel we must all learn to ride," she wrote.
Magazines and some newspapers regularly published poetry and short stories at that time, and cycling was a popular theme. In 1893, poet Madeline S. Bridges celebrated the female cyclist's new freedom by contrasting her with the maidens of the past who used wheels to spin thread.
As the 1890s drew to a close, the cyclists who had cast off their corsets and taken to the open road were leading the way for American women to start embracing new freedoms and a larger place in public life. Ironically, the vehicle that had delivered them to the future had almost reached the end of the road.

Place the Stanton excerpt in the cause box and the final excerpt in the effect box.

- Cause: "In 1895, Stanton contributed an article... cycling was increasing people's mobility, eliminating the cost of feeding and housing horses, and encouraging the building of good roads."
- Effect: "As the 1890s drew to a close, the cyclists who had cast off their corsets and taken to the open road were leading the way for American women to start embracing new freedoms and a larger place in public life."

Explanation: Stanton’s list of practical and social benefits shows how bicycling expanded mobility and independence; that increased freedom helped push women into broader public roles by the end of the decade.
