Soon after Rinehart rewrote the record books, a battle of dueling century riders in Long Island, New York, attracted national attention. Irene Brush of Brooklyn started things off by pedaling 200 miles in 22 hours on May 7 and 8, 1899. A month later, she rode 300 miles in 29 hours and in mid-July, 400 miles in 48 hours. Brush's achievements soon were eclipsed by two new marathon cyclists. In late July, Jane Yatman, a 24-year-old former bookstore clerk from Manhattan, powered through five centuries in 58 hours. In early September, Jane Lindsay of Brooklyn pedaled 600 miles in 72 hours. Later that month, on September 16, Jane Yatman set out to ride 700 miles, a feat which she accomplished in 81 hours, 5 minutes. "Miss Yatman plainly showed the effects of the terrible strain in her countenance," reported the New York Times, "and said that the ride was torture during the last twenty-five miles." Those miles, and indeed the entire last century, were ridden in a drenching rainstorm. –Wheels of Change, Sue Macy What central idea do the statistics help the reader understand?

(select all that apply.)the war of the worldshe remained standing at the edge of the pit that the thing had made for itself, staring at its strange appearance, astonished chiefly at its unusual shape and colour, and dimly perceiving even then some evidence of design in its arrival. the early morning was wonderfully still, and the sun, just clearing the pine trees towards weybridge, was already warm. they shouted consolation and promises, and went off back to the town again to get . one can imagine them, covered with sand, excited and disordered, running up the little street in the bright sunlight just as the shop folks were taking down their shutters and people were opening their bedroom windows. it was glaringly hot, not a cloud in the sky nor a breath of wind, and the only shadow was that of the few scattered pine trees. the burning heather had been extinguished, but the level ground towards ottershaw was blackened as far as one could see, and still giving off vertical streamers of smoke. an enormous hole had been made by the impact of the projectile, and the sand and gravel had been flung violently in every direction over the heath, forming heaps visible a mile and a half away. the heather was on fire eastward, and a thin blue smoke rose against the dawn.
