Read this excerpt from wheels of change by sue macy. that said, it's hard to grasp the full extent of the bicycle's impact on americans in the late 19th century—particularly female americans. imagine a population imprisoned by their very clothing; the stiff corsets, heavy skirts, and voluminous petticoats that made it difficult to take a deep breath, let alone exercise. add to that the laws and social conventions that cemented a man's place as head of the household and holder of the purse strings. how suffocated women must have felt. and how liberated they must have been as they pedaled their wheels toward new horizons. what is the central idea of the excerpt

Arrange the sentences below to form a logical paragraph. an experienced rock climber knows that it takes a combination of knowledge and preparation to perform a successful climb. a successful climb begins with a proper foothold, carefully placing each foot on a ledge or crack then reaching for a solid hold, and finally pushing off. in addition to a proper foothold, a climber must be careful to check the integrity of the rock before stepping because it has to be solid clear through. a veteran climber judges the integrity of the rock and chooses not to climb on conglomerates, packed clay with lots of little rocks. but, such knowledge of rock is not the only preparation a skilled climber needs; equally important is the correct equipment. with these tools, knowledge of rock composition and equipment safety, a climber may experience many safe and enjoyable climbs.
