Question

Bicycling by young women has helped to swell the ranks of reckless girls who finally drift into the standing army of outcast women of the United States," wrote Smith in a resolution issued by her group, the Women's Rescue League. Which best describes Charlotte Smith's viewpoint? Women should not cycle until they are older. Women should learn to cycle properly. Women should avoid cycling. Women should cycle only as a hobby.

Answer 1

Answer:

The option which best describes Charlotte Smith's viewpoint is:

C. Women should avoid cycling.

Explanation:

According to the book "Wheels of Change", Charlotte Smith condemned cycling as an indecent practice for women. In Smith's opinion, women who ride a bike are less moral and less religious than those who do not. She even accused riding bikes of being unhealthy - which we have known for decades to be untrue. With that in mind, we can easily choose letter C as the best option. To Smith, women should not cycle at all.
