This was one of the matters that motivated Charlotte Smith to declare that the bicycle had brought about "the alarming increase
of immorality among young women in the United States" because of the "evil associations and opportunities" it made possible. —Wheels of Change,
Sue Macy
Smith chose the underlined words for a reason. What effect did she hope to have on the audience by using words with strong negative connotations?
A. She wanted to encourage cycling for women’s health.
B. She wanted to persuade others that women should not ride bicycles.
C. She wanted to evoke patriotic feelings in citizens.
D. She wanted to convince men to ride bicycles.
The answer is A due to the fact that the Navajo didn't reject the idea of education, it isn't speaking about removal from homes or boarding schools, and the conflict isn't mentioned within this excerpt.
Our aim is a democratic peace, a
peace founded upon the dignity and rights of every man and woman.—President
Bush, 2004 State of the Union. It means that democracy, when handled properly
means that the rights of every man and woman can be attained.
