Petrarch's Sonnet 18 is about Laura, her beauty and his incapability to describe her beauty in a proper way. His love for her is an impossible one, and he uses repeatedly negative words and phrases to state clearly that her beauty is impossible for him to describe, <em>"unsung...in my rhyme".  </em>He hasn't got any possibilities to make a proper description of her beauty, nor to describe her brightness. So he uses negative word and phrases to strenghten  the idea of his inability to make a suitable portrayal of her, because her beauty is such that it exceeds his chance to describe it. He hasn't got the <em>strength </em>nor the <em>genius</em>.

Read the excerpt from Chapter 5 of Wheels of Change.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Many people strongly opposed the increasing rights of women.

Explanation:

The first and second options are incorrect, because the bicycle was not as successful as everyone hoped it would be, and the point of the excerpt is not that England was ahead in its fight for equal opportunities for women. The statement that Elizabeth Cady Staton fought for a woman's right to attend college is true, but the point is that many people strongly opposed the increasing rights of women despite the campaign.
