Read the excerpt from Chapter 4 of Wheels of Change. Yatman had little time to savor her ownership of the Long Island women's century record, as Jane Lindsay responded with an even longer ride. On October 18, Lindsay completed an 800-mile marathon in 91 hours, 48 minutes. Upon reporting Lindsay's newest feat, the New York Times pointed out that there was no monetary reward for such "useless and necessarily injurious trials of strength" and suggested what the women's motivation might be. "Bitter rivalry, that characteristic feminine trait, and the determination to 'get even' are seemingly the actuating motives," wrote the Times. Lindsay's actions certainly support the impression that a rivalry existed. Both she and Yatman rode the same 20-mile course in Long Island, New York, over and over again in their century quests, and both stayed at West's Hotel in Valley Stream, Long Island, when they were through. The hotel had a sign in the main room commemorating Yatman's 700-mile ride until Lindsay tore it down and tossed it aside, replacing it with one of her own. The new sign proclaimed: "Champion! Unexcelled — Unapproached. Jane Lindsay."

Multiple ! in this excerpt from act i, scene vi, of macbeth, duncan praises the atmosphere in the castle and the hospitality of his hostess. identify two reasons that these comments are ironic. duncan: this castle hath a pleasant seat: the air nimbly and sweetly recommends itself unto our gentle sense. . .

Which two elements does this excerpt from a christmas carol by charles dickens contain? "a small matter," said the ghost, “to make these silly folks so full of gratitude." "small! " echoed scrooge. the spirit signed to him to listen to the two apprentices, who were pouring out their hearts in praise of fezziwig: and when he had done so, said, "why! is it not? he has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four perhaps. is that so much that he deserves this praise? " "it isn’t that," said scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter, self. "it isn't that, spirit. he has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up: what then? the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." he felt the spirit's glance, and stopped. "what is the matter? " asked the ghost. "nothing particular," said scrooge. "something, i think? " the ghost insisted. "no," said scrooge, "no. i should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. that's all."

Read the excerpt from the common sense of bicycling: bicycling for ladies. the bicycle is capable of such high speed that there is a strong temptation to ride so fast as to cause over exertion or excessive perspiration. on the other hand some people ride too slow, causing a zigzag and uncertain movement. while exercising reasonable caution, be a fearless rider. when you come to a steep hill, if the road is clear, let it go as fast as it will. if you rid yourself of that ghost of fear, coasting is one of the greatest delights of cycling. which is the best paraphrase of the text?
