Which detail from the excerpt is important to the central
idea?
o 400,000 people
o on this side of the river.
o the span was so long
o cannot be confined
read the excerpt from "opening ceremonies of the new
york and brooklyn bridge" by hon. seth low, mayor of the
city of brooklyn
fourteen years ago a city of 400,000 people on this side
of the river heard of a projected suspension bridge with
incredulity. the span was so long, the height so great, and
the enterprise likely to be so costly, that few thought of it
as something begun in earnest. the irresistible demands
of commerce enforced these hard conditions. but science

day a city of 600.000 people welcomes with enthusiasm
the wonderful creation of genius. graceful, and yet
majestic, it clings to the land like a thing that has taken
root. beautiful as a vision of fairyland it salutes our sight.
the impression it makes upon the visitor is one of
astonishment, an astonishment that grows with every visit
no one who has been upon it can ever forget it. this great
structure cannot be confined to the limits of local pride.
