For women living in North America in the 1800s, transportation options were few. In the late 1880s, however, bicycles started appearing in the United States. At first, only men rode bicycles. Female riders were considered unladylike. Gradually, the idea of women riding bikes became
more accepted. Female bike riders became a common sight on city streets and country roads. The new sport changed women's fashions. For
example, some women traded their heavy skirts for loose pants called bloomers. Women could travel independently from one place to another on
their bleycles. They no longer had to rely on men for transportation. In addition, women enjoyed the exercise and fresh air provided by an outing on
a bicycle. The well-known suffragist, Susan B. Anthony, claimed that bicycling had done more to emancipate women than anything else in the
world."

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
