Answer:
A). The author describes the short-term effects of having a bicycle as a child.
Explanation:
The statement that most aptly characterizes this excerpt would be that 'the author recounts the short-term outcomes of having a bicycle as a child.' The author highlights that 'she had no knowledge of the part the bicycle had played as a vehicle of change for turn-of-the-20th-century women' as the possessions of bicycles worked as a 'measure of independence' for them. It helped them in freeing from the overpowering bonds and it rather allows her to go and buy wafers and even ice-cream for herself. Thus, the author highlights how bicycles have played a major role in offering women their due freedom and liberty to go out and do what they want. Therefore, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
