The speaker thinks (feels) that her daughter is growing up very fast and uncontrollably, so the speaker feels a wistful feeling towards past years in which her daughter was young and just learning to ride a bike, and the speaker wishes her daughter to remain forever in her chidlike state and never grow up.

The poet  illustrates the speaker's feelings towards her daughter by drawing a comparison between different moments of their  life. Both the moment when the speaker taught her daughter how to ride a bike and the moment when the daughter is leaving home are being compared. During her daughter's childhood, the speaker was by her daughter's side , yet she could not tell if she would have been able to prevent her daughter from falling off the bike . The poet says that the speaker waited for a thud while teaching her daughter to ride. The daughter finally  got to learn how to ride and disappeared in the distance saying goodbye through her handkerchief. The daughter being a grown up now will leave home. Although the speaker must have done her best to take care of her daughter, she will never be able to prevent her daughter from suffering.

Evidence comes from direct observation or experience?
algol [13]
Direct observation.  This is because the anecdotal fallacy is a logical fallacy and says that isolated events are not adequate pieces of evidence.  It must be a well-documented case to be evidence.

Which phrase in the following passage is the best context clue to understanding the meaning of the word brat?
swat32

Answer:

"always wanted to do things differently"

Explanation:

brat

[brat]

NOUN

derogatory

humorous

a child, typically a badly behaved one.

Doing things differently could be counted as misbehaving depending on what it is. But if we look at the rest of our answers,

" continued to do so " doesn't answer anything to do with the word ' brat '.

" graduate college and enroll in medical school " doesn't seem like something a brat would do if they were a misbehaved child.

" high hopes " doesn't answer anything to do with the word ' brat '.
