Answer:
To inform readers about one reason why cycling was controversial in the 1800s
Explanation:
The reason why the author mentions Dr. Richardson's research is to inform the readers about one reason why cycling was controversial in the 1800s.
<em>Wheels of Change</em> is a book written by Sue Macy about how important cycling was in the emancipation of women in late-nineteenth-century America. The purpose of the book is mostly to inform - not to persuade or entertain. Dr. Richardson is a prominent figure from that time, and Macy tells us about his opinion on this matter.
The answer is C because it is the only one that actually restricts the people. the other two are positive answers
"Neither as a boy nor as a man was he a toady, but from early youth was by nature attracted to people of high station as a fly is drawn to the light, assimilating their ways and views of life and establishing friendly relations with them. " <em>Leo Tolstoy's The Death Of Ivan Ilyich </em>
To me this seems like the answer, because it says that from early youth he had always admired those of a higher society. I am not an expert but this sentence kind of stuck out to me.
