Question

look at the word maneuvers in the passage below.
when bessie coleman decided to become a pilot, she had to travel to france to get her license. no flying schools in the u.s. were willing to teach an african american woman. but she earned her license in 1921 and soon became well known for her skills. she began performing stunts at air shows. people called her \brave bessie.\ she thrilled crowds with daring maneuvers like figure eights and loop the loops.
what is the meaning of maneuver as used in the passage?
a plan that will not work
a vehicle that goes very fast
a movement that requires skill

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "maneuver" in the passage, we analyze the context. Bessie Coleman performed stunts at air shows, and the examples given (figure eights, loop the loops) are flying movements that need skill. The first option ("a plan that will not work") doesn't fit as these are successful stunts. The second option ("a vehicle that goes very fast") is incorrect as "maneuver" refers to actions, not a vehicle. The third option ("a movement that requires skill") matches the context of her daring flying actions showing skill.

Answer:

a movement that requires skill
