Question

The passage would best be described as??

Answer 1

No because I don't understand

Answer 2

I think the answer is either “a humorous anecdote” or “a detailed explanation”. The passage could be an anecdote because it’s describing the way Joseph Merlin ran into the mirror while rolling on his skates in a kind of amusing way. It could also be a detailed explanation because the passage is explaining why the first public display of roller skating in history was almost the last. I’m still leaning towards your answer which is “a detailed explanation.”
