Answer 1

By the turn of the century, the bicycle's heyday was over and a new mechanical wonder promised to transport men and women faster and farther than ever before. Bicycle manufacturers retooled their factories to build them and bicycle repair shops installed gasoline tanks to service them. The era of the automobile had begun.

Answer 2

What is most likely the reason Sue Macy included this cause-and-effect relationship?

Answer 3

to inform readers that automobiles were invented to solve the problems that bicycles could not

to inform readers that automobiles were a more effective means of transportation than bicycles

to inform readers that the invention of the automobile was a direct result of the invention of the bicycle

to inform readers that the invention of the automobile would impact the popularity of the bicycle

@SyedMohammed98 @paki

Answer 34

explain to "mr. data" logic

Answer 35

close this question... @MaimiGirl

Answer 36

ya close it so DATA DONT MAKE A FUSS

Answer 37

*trying to calm myself - just talk to Maimi*

But from your argument, you also think that it is C because it says that bicycles are "direct result of bicycles" which means that the cause is the invention of the bicycles leads to the invention of the motorcycles

Answer 57

thanks @EclipsedStar for constructively contributing to the post

Answer 58

It does not state why it was more "effective", as written in choice B.

Answer 59

You're welcome, just trying to help. ^_^

Answer 60

:)
by saying that , " transport men and women faster and farther than ever before " << doesn't this prove that automobile are more effective ?

Answer 61

The sentence mentioned after that one mentions factories though...That's confusing though...XD

Answer 62

I'll just go with my instincts.
Enough discussion *sigh*

Answer 63

"...bicycle's heyday was over and a new mechanical wonder promised to transport...". Well it states that it was turning over to a different invention. Then right after that it talks about factories.

Answer 64

I still believe Data is correct. XD

Answer 65

agreed
