Answer:
bicycle racing was a popular sport in the 1880s and 1890s.
Explanation:
As a result of stating that "7,000 people watched the night Frankie Nelson set her 18-hour record”, the writer is trying to make it known that a lot of people were interested in watching the event. 
Therefore, the thing that most develops the central idea is that bicycle racing was a popular sport in the 1880s and 1890s

The correct answer is; presenting dialogue that includes a contrasting perspective.
Indeed, there is a hint of irony in the description that immediately follows the dialogue. The immediate landscape is used to show the “heritage-deprived” person that he actually does have a heritage. In other words, he does not need to be a hyphenated American in order to have a heritage because it is right there “dangling over his head”. 
The symbolism of the “tall American tree” is used to show how the speaker of these lines that America has its own heritage, which lies in  its history, its melting pot and its territory and he cannot even see it. It is this symbolism that provides the contrasting perspective.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
The reason why writers still use Character archetypes is because they have been working since ancient times and still work.
think about it, you have probably heard of these character descriptions in every great book/story/movie.
Shapeshifter- the character that can change turn into something (AKA the werewolf and that pirate from the pirates of a Caribbean) or just go from good to evil or evil to good.
The Hero- no explanation needed
the trickster-A character for comic relief and to cause mischief
The guardians threshold- basically henchmen and stop the hero from moving on there journey
the Herald- the person/object that gets the hero to go on a journey
the mentor- the person that teaches the hero about the world. Also trains the hero
the shadow- the main villain that the hero has to defeat. 
Also there is the monomyth that is the story structure. But you just wanted to know about character archetypes. BTW what class is this in, (and the grade level), I have always been interested in this.
