Correct answer: B. Very
- A. Rode
- B. Very
- C. Had
- D. Which
Explanation
The error is in the adjective "very". It should be replaced with "much" or rephrased to "not particularly liked" or "not widely accepted" to indicate the disapproval of women riding bicycles during Victorian times.The correct sentence would be: "She rode a bicycle, not much liked by the men of Victorian times, and she had advanced and radical ideas which she learned from Ibsen, Bernard Shaw, and William Morris."
