Read the passage. Which central idea is developed by
the quotation in the last sentence?
When a troupe of "lady bicyclists" descended upon
Minneapolis, Minnesota, for a six-day marathon in 1891,
the entire Twin Cities area seemed captivated. Eight days
before the start of the race, the St. Paul Daily Globe
began profiling the women, offering brief descriptions of
them and their past achievements. Louise Armaindo, the
paper declared, had "the best record in the world among
women as an all-round athlete," including the ability to
lift 760 pounds "without shoulder straps."

Answer :

Answer:

I think the answer should be Women were worthy cycling racers.

Explanation:

"Some did not support women racing" would not be the answer because it said nothing about people not supporting women racing. "Horses often beat cyclists in racing" I didn't read anything that said horses were better than women at racing. And "Bicycle racing was a popular sport", or course it was a popular sport in the passage, but it wasn't found in the quotation.

The central idea that is developed by the quotation in the last sentence is A. Women were worthy cycling racers.

The central idea in a story simply refers to the main idea of the story. The central idea is what the author wants the readers to know.

Based on the information given, the central idea was to illustrate that women were worthy cycling racers. This can be illustrated as the author stated that lady bicyclists participated in a marathon.
