Answer:

word choice

Explanation:

The author's purposeful choice of words evokes sympathy for the narrator. Just look at these adjectives used by the writer in the passage:

Chilly afternoons, dreadful coming home in the raw (i.e. very cold and wet) twilight with nipped (i.e. made numb with cold) fingers and toes, a heart saddened and humbled.

The reader cannot but feel compassion for the suffering of the narrator. This is achieved through diction, that is deliberate choice of words.

Explanation:

In William Shakespeare's final Act of "The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet," Balthasar delivers news to Romeo that Juliet is dead. Balthasar did not know about the Friar's plan. Before going to Verona to see Juliet, Romeo desperately seeks out an apothecary and convinces him to sell him poison. Meanwhile, Friar Lawrence talks to Friar John. Friar John was supposed to send news to Romeo in Mantua about Juliet, but he was unable to enter the city because of a disease. The Friar goes to the Capulet monument to meet Juliet before she wakes up. Before the Friar reaches the monument, Paris and his page are already there. Paris places flowers by Juliet, but then his page whistles because someone else is coming. It is Romeo and Balthasar. Romeo gives Balthasar a letter to give to his father the next morning. Balthasar does not listen and hides instead. Romeo encounters Paris and they fight. Romeo kills Paris. Before Paris dies, he asks to be placed next to Juliet. Romeo then seeks out Juliet's body, before he drinks the poison and dies. Outside of the monument, the Friar greets Balthasar. Once inside the monument, the Friar sees Romeo and Paris' dead bodies. He walks over to Juliet who is now awake. Juliet asks for Romeo, but the Friar tells her that Romeo and Paris are dead. The Friar tells Juliet that the watch is coming and that he can take her to a sisterhood of holy nuns. The Friar leaves thinking that Juliet will not leave. She sees that romeo drank poison, and she kisses him to try to poison herself. She then hears the watch, and takes Romeo's dagger and stabs herself. The Prince arrives at the scene shortly before the Capulets and Montagues. Their parents are devastated when they hear the news. Montague reveals that his wife also died because she was upset about Romeo's death. Friar Lawrence explained what happened, and it is confirmed by Balthasar. The two families end their long-standing feud, and the Prince says that Verona paid a high price.

Answer:

The invention of the bicycle and increased personal independence for women .

Explanation:

Sue Macy's Wheels of Change: How Women Rode the Bicycle to Freedom presents an interesting and educational insight into how the invention of the bicycle led to more independence and liberation of women in society. This book delves into the role that the bicycle played in the move to gain freedom for the womenfolk.

In the given passage, Macy took into account how the bicycle not only gave the means to travel easier and move more conveniently. It also helped emancipate the women and helped them get the liberation they need. It gave them the independence they need to do their work and support what they believe is rightfully theirs. She stated that "the bicycle brought a taste of independence to women on a very personal level". It also allowed them to express their discontent with the old traditions expectations from them by the community or the men.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
