also, if you look at the explanation in the back, it says "the passages mentions that pioneer women saw at least two independent reasons for all women to use bicycles: they believed that cycling would "encourage healthy outdoor exercise" as well as "hasten long-overdue dress reform." But the text doesnt actually say "at least", meaning theres no clear mention in the actual passage that there are more than two reasond unless you say feminists = pioneer women cyclists. what do you guys think???

sorry to revive the old post that i started. but isnt it too much of an inferential leap to "equate pioneer women cylists" to "feminists" ?

http://greprepclub.com/forum/qotd-3-4-5-the-massive-influx-of-women-cyclists-making-up-2691.html i was doing the question no 4 linked above in an official prep book "official gre verbal reasoning practice questions 2nd edition" It seems the ETS has the wrong definition of "several", as choice 'c' says several, but the passage only mentions two reasons. im not sure how i would go about answering similar questions in the future if i see the word 'several.'
