Read the excerpt from the introduction to Wheels of Change . When I was a kid, I took great pleasure in jumping on my bike and riding to the corner candy store about half a mile away. Although I had no knowledge of the part the bicycle had played as a vehicle of change for turn-of-the-20th-century women, I was acutely aware that it allowed this 1960s girl a unique measure of independence. On my bike, I could break free of the bonds that held me in my neighborhood to go buy Necco Wafers and candy necklaces and Atomic FireBalls. If I felt particularly adventurous, I could even ride a bit farther for a fresh ice-cream cone at Applegate Farm. Which statement best characterizes this excerpt?

A). The author describes the short-term effects of having a bicycle as a child.

Explanation:

The statement that most aptly characterizes this excerpt would be that 'the author recounts the short-term outcomes of having a bicycle as a child.' The author highlights that 'she had no knowledge of the part the bicycle had played as a vehicle of change for turn-of-the-20th-century women' as the possessions of bicycles worked as a 'measure of independence' for them. It helped them in freeing from the overpowering bonds and it rather allows her to go and buy wafers and even ice-cream for herself. Thus, the author highlights how bicycles have played a major role in offering women their due freedom and liberty to go out and do what they want. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
