Text Structures in Wheels of Change, Part 2 — Quiz
Question 1 • CP English Language 1
Read this excerpt from Chapter 1 of Wheels of Change by Sue Macy. On its members' behalf, the L.A.W. campaigned for separate bicycle paths in cities and pointed out to farmers that better rural roads would save their horses from injury. The smooth surfaces, claimed the organization, would also allow farmers to use fewer horses to move their goods to market, resulting in an annual saving of $700 million on horse feed alone. Before long, farmers stood squarely with the L.A.W. in the campaign for better roads. For their trouble, they saw the farmland along newly paved roads double in value. What chronology is described in the excerpt?
Answer
A
farmers’ frustration with expenses
B
farmers’ increasing interest in riding bicycles
C
the developing legal battle between lawyers and farmers
D
the progress toward improved roadways
Explanation
The excerpt describes how the campaign for better roads gained support: the L.A.W. explained how smooth roads would help farmers, and farmers then joined the campaign. After roads were paved, nearby farmland increased in value. This is progress toward improved roadways, not a growing interest in bicycle riding or a legal battle.
