Read the excerpt from Chapter 5 of Wheels of Change.
These traits led commentators to worry that the
differences between the sexes were being blurred, a fear
that was reinforced as the four newest states-
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Idaho-granted women
the right to vote in the 1890s. Would the bicycle help
bring about a new kind of equality between men and
women? Elizabeth Cady Stanton and her colleagues
certainly hoped so. At any rate, the image of a female
cyclist quickly became associated with efforts to win
more rights for women.
What conclusion does Macy draw in this synthesis of
ideas?
Women were granted the right to vote in four states
as a direct result of the bicycle's invention.
Female cyclists were quickly becoming associated
with efforts to win more rights for women.
O Stanton and her colleagues hoped women cyclists
would join their fight for women's rights.
O Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Idaho were home to
the highest percentage of women cyclists.

pls read passage before answering
Malcolm had been a prisoner in the tower for longer than he could remember—so long, in fact, he couldn't even remember why he was there. He never saw his captors or heard them speak. The only contact he had with them was a slot at the bottom of one wall through which a tray of food was slid twice a day. From time to time, Malcolm would bend down, put his mouth near the slot, and call out to someone, anyone. He would have welcomed hearing even mean or cruel words in response to his voice, but there was never a sound. Malcolm had thought about escaping this lonely existence. There was one small window in the room, and Malcolm suspected he could just squeeze through the bars if he wiggled enough. The ground was too far below, though, for him to survive a jump, so in his little prison he stayed. From time to time, Malcolm would see mice scampering along the edges of his cell. At first they all looked the same, but over time he could tell them apart and knew there were four in all. He gave each one a name: Stanton, Crispin, Roderick, and Emil. He would talk to them, and often, he felt they would talk back. Malcolm sometimes had long, drawn-out conversations and even heated debates with the mice. “I hear where you're coming from, Emil,” he would say, “but Stanton has also made some very good points.” After a while, the four mice would wake him in the morning, eagerly rubbing their whiskers against his cheek, squeaking with delight when he opened his eyes. Just knowing they liked him brought joy to his otherwise dreary existence. Years passed, and Malcolm's head began balding. His beard, however, grew and grew until it was long enough to drag behind him. One day, as he was thinking of stories he could tell the mice, he remembered the story of Rapunzel and how she had used her hair as a rope. He immediately tied the tip of his beard to one of the window bars. He tucked Stanton, Crispin, Roderick and Emil into his pockets. Because he'd grown so thin, it wasn't hard to squeeze between the bars of the window. “We're off to see the world,” he whispered to the mice and, clinging to his own long whiskers, he began to slowly let himself down to the ground below. The story, “The Tower,” is mainly about:
A a man who names and befriends four mice.
B a man imprisoned in a tower with no human contact.
C a man who becomes extremely lonely.
D a prisoner who persuades his captors to talk to him.

The Meet
By Madelyn Srin

"Why, why?" Ariel wailed into her locker at the pool. "I thought she was not going to make it down for this meet!" Her fiercest competitor was going to swim Saturday, after all. Maria looked around to make sure no one had heard her then tore off her required swim cap, grabbed her towel, and ran outside to her father’s waiting van.

"It’s my last chance to actually make Olympics finals, Dad. And Maria is going to be there. Maria and her stupid pink swim cap. High-fiving her dad for good luck before every single race. Ugh."

"Remember what I’ve told you, Ari," her dad started. "The only thing that matters is what you do, not what you win." She put up her hand to block the glare of the sun just peeking up over the horizon. Every morning she was at that pool, doing laps and practicing her strokes. Ariel pictured herself so many times holding that trophy and smiling triumphantly as she advanced to the Olympic finals. No matter what her dad said, she wanted to win.

Saturday morning, Ariel stood by the pool—waiting for Maria to come out—hoping that she wouldn’t. She did—crying. Ariel could barely hear what Maria was saying to the coach over the noise in the pool area.

"…lucky swim cap. gone … without it." The coach was trying to convince Maria to just wear another one when Ariel saw a pink blob, peeking out from under the bleachers. For an instant, she saw herself again, making it to the finals, and living her dream. This time, however, her vision was different. She held the trophy, but her smile was nowhere to be seen.

The world came into focus again, and Ariel knew what she had to do.

Moments later, she approached Maria and looked her rival in the eye. "Here," she said, handing her the pink cap. "It was under the bleachers."

"Oh, Ariel. Thankyouthankyouthankyou," Maria said through her sobs. "If I could not compete today, I don’t know what I would do."

Ariel watched Maria greet her father and receive her customary high-five. As Ariel turned away, she felt a tap on her shoulder. Maria’s father stood smiling, his flat hand raised and ready.

“One for you, too!”

Ariel high fived the man and saw a flash of embarrassment flush across Maria’s face.

Ariel turned to her own dad, who was sitting in his usual place in the bleachers. He gave her a thumbs–up as she walked to the platform and took her place next to Maria.

Maria tightened her pink cap and gave Ariel a smile. “Thanks again. And good luck.”

“You’re welcome. And good luck, too.” Ariel replied. She smiled back, triumphantly.
