The answer to your question would be that the sentence "John wants to really do well on this exam" contains the following error: Split infinitive.

A split infinitive, also known as as cleft infinitive, is a grammatical construction in which a word or phrase comes between the <em>to </em>and the bare infinitive form of the <em>to</em> form of the infinitive verb. Usually, an adverb or adverbial phrase comes between them. In this case, the word between the infinitive particle and the bare form is the adverb "really".

This sentence contains split infinitive. John wants to really do well - you see that the infinitive is split here by introducing <em>really </em>between <em>to </em>and <em>do. </em>If you can, you should avoid doing that, it would be better to say John really wants to do well...

Which details from Chapter 3 of Wheels of Change does the image help the reader better understand? Check all that apply.
Rasek [7]

Answer:

In the 1890s, riding a bicycle in traditional clothing could be hazardous to a woman's health.

This combination of a shortened dress and flowing trousers became known as the Bloomer costume.

<em>"Taken together, these floor-length petticoats and the dress that covered them could weigh 25 pounds—even more when the unfortunate woman got caught in a rainstorm. Plus they were unsanitary. During a casual stroll, an unsuspecting fashion plate could pick up cigar ends, cigarette butts, discarded food, tiny insects, and animal droppings as her clothing swept the ground."</em>

In this excerpt from Wheels of change we can see that the clothing in the times for women were dangerous and started to change because it was easier for them to dress different so they could ride a bike.
