Identify the type of narration used in the
excerpt.
The story is told in the third person omniscient point of view. It is a
type of narration where the narrator plays god and knows the internal feelings
and thoughts of the character. In addition, it allows the reader to know the
thoughts and feelings of the character too.
Which words in the excerpt indicate the type of
narration?
Using the 3rd person pronouns such as “she,” “he,” “himself,” “her,”
and related pronouns show the point of view of the narration; while the words “knew,”
“felt,” “wondered” and words that show the inner thoughts and feelings of the
character.
What is the effect of this point of view on the
reader’s interpretation of the information presented?
The
reader is able to make judgements and understand why the main character is
behaving that way and the reason behind how the other characters react and
respond to the situation. Interpretation of the story becomes more personal and
engaging.

Answer:
The chronology that is described in the excerpt is "Pope follows to invest in the cycling industry steps."
Explanation:
From the excerpt: "What interested Pope, however, was a display in one of the English buildings, where two manufacturers from Great Britain presented the latest bicycles. Pope was tantalized by these bicycles, called high wheelers, which had huge wheels in the front and tiny ones in the back. A Civil War veteran and entrepreneur, he wondered about the machine's possibilities as both a business venture and a means of transportation. If only it didn't seem so impossible to ride. Pope dismissed the idea of investing in this new vehicle until he encountered another one the following spring, during a jaunt on a horse near his Massachusetts home. All at once, a man on a high wheeler sped by him. When Pope's horse couldn't catch the cyclist, even at a gallop, the businessman suddenly saw the potential of traveling on two wheels."
The excerpt shows different situations where Pope was faced to this new kind of transportation, the so-called High Wheelers, and even when at first he was really interested and intrigued by them, he didn't see them as an actual business, and as the businessman he was he wanted to invest until he saw by himself that against his original impression the High Wheelers where a very good and viable business opportunity.
