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.

Read the excerpt from "The City of Invention" and answer the question.
ahrayia [7]

<em>Context helps readers guess that "inchoation" in this passage describes experiences that are </em><u>preliminary </u><em>and </em><u>universal</u><em>.</em>

In the excerpt, the narrator tries to capture the experience that a reader has when he or she encounters with a fascinating and shivering passage. The <em>inchoation,</em> or beginning, (<em>Merriam Webster</em>),  represent the start of an enthralling feeling that is <u>preliminary</u>, as it prepares the reader for richer and more important experiences, and could encompass something that is inherent in human life, i.e. <u>universal</u>. A sudden thrill that pulls the strings of the soul and deeply connects with the reader. These experiences are unexpected, and they are the beginning of something much bigger and enriching that may change the reader forever.
