Read the Greek myth "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch and answer the question.

[1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity.

[2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice.

[3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold.

[4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day.

Select two key details that could be included in a summary of the myth.

Bacchus granted Midas's wish to have the golden touch.
Bacchus sometimes found his teacher Silenus missing.
Midas entertained Silenus in his kingdom for ten days.
Midas received a wish for returning Silenus to Bacchus.
Silenus was found by peasants and carried to Midas.

Answer:

Bacchus granted Midas's wish to have the golden touch.

Bacchus sometimes found his teacher Silenus missing.

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.
