Question

Read the excerpt from Chapter 3 of Wheels of Change . Repeated injuries to women riding in long, full skirts propelled female cyclists to look for new clothing options and others to at least consider the need for them. But for every suggestion of a cycling outfit that was comfortable and safe, there seemed to be a corresponding warning to women not to overstep their bounds. Which statement best fits in the "Cause” portion of this chart? Women created new styles of clothing to wear while cycling. Society rejected women’s ideas for new cycling styles. Women often suffered injuries while cycling due to their clothing. Society embraced new styles of clothing for women who cycled.

Answer 1

Your answer is 

C-Women often suffered injuries while cycling due to their clothing.

Make this the brainliest!!!! :D

Answer 2

The correct answer would be option C: "Women often suffered injuries while cycling due to their clothing". In the excerpt, it is said that women that cycled would often have injuries because of the long skirts that were inadequate to use while cycling, this was the cause, the reason, women started creating new types of clothes to prevent injuries while cycling.

Option A is a result of the situation, not the reason they started creating new clothes, and option B is another result, not the cause. Option D did not happen or at least, it wasn't mentioned in the excerpt, therefore it is also incorrect.
