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. why are these statements by the new york times subjective? the reasons listed as motives for the competitive nature of female cyclists are able to be proven. most people would agree with the idea that it is “useless” to compete when money is not the reward. it is unlikely that anyone would disagree with the opinions expressed by the new york times. someone else may view the actions of the female cyclists as admirable and impressive.

The answer is the last option: Someone else may view the actions of the female cyclists as admirable and impressive.

Something is subjective when it is a judgement influenced by personal feelings and outlooks. And these events happened in the 1900, so you could say that whoever wrote the piece was subjective and biased againt women in general, and if it had been men competing even if no money was involved they'd say it was a great show of sportsmanship

Someone else may view the actions of the female cyclists as admirable and impressive.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

the significance of the title, "the passing", is related to the fact that the main characters, who are three african-american descendant women, are passing as white. this means that, because of their light-coloured skins they look like white women. one of the three friends, clare, is married to a white man and she lives in a white community and she has never told her husband that she is black. the title can easily be connected to the idea of pretending to be someone you are not and of losing your real identity in order to be accepted by society.
