Passage
The Paris Metro
[1] If you ever travel to Europe, you will likely want to visit the monuments and museums of Paris, one of the most
beautiful cities in the world. (1) You immerse yourself in art, architecture, and the history of Western civilization.
(2) The cultural treasures of France’s capital are awe-inspiring, but the most amazing thing about visiting Paris is the ease with which you can tour the city using the extensive subway (3) network, in which the French call the Metropolitan, or simply the Metro.
[2] The Metro was constructed in anticipation of the 1900 World Fair. Additional tunnels were excavated over the following three (4) decades making the Metro one of the world’s most extensive and most patronized subway systems. Second in size only to the New York City subway, the (5) Metros stations throughout Paris.
(6) Paris does have buses and taxis, but nothing is faster or more convenient than catching a subway train. Not just a useful resource for Parisians, the Metro is ideal for tourist travel (7) (no matter what country you are from!).
All major sites in the city have a nearby station, most (8) named by the attraction they are near. For example, the Louvre-Rivoli Station drops you off next door to the famous museum, and the Pont Neuf Station is at the foot of the famous bridge across the River Seine. I love the feeling of going (9) underground at one attraction and coming back to the surface in another famous place. The Metro is also fast, with a train arriving at the station every few minutes. Best of all, tourists can buy a day pass for unlimited Metro trips, or a single ticket if just one trip is needed. (10) Swiping your ticket once and you may enter the network, including all transfers between lines. (11)
[3] I would much rather use the Metro than rent a car in Paris. Beyond the stresses of city (12) driving, and parking, and the high cost of fuel in Europe, the Metro keeps you from ever getting lost. You can wander to your heart’s content, discovering the corners of Paris tourists rarely see. Metro travel couldn’t be easier!
[4] People (13) are accustomed generally to making transportation arrangements ahead of time when traveling to a new place. What I admire about the Paris Metro is the incredible freedom of movement that (14) it provides.
As soon as you arrive at the airport, you can buy a pass and head underground. The monuments and museums of Paris are amazing, but I am equally impressed by how easy and cheap it is to travel between them beneath the city.

In standard written English, the modifier usually goes before whatever it is modifying. Here, “generally” modifies the adjective “accustomed” and so should go before it. The main verb “to be” should also agree in tense with the other main verbs. The other verbs are in the present tense, so this sentence should use the form “are.” Both of these points support answer choice B.
Because “accustomed” is an adjective, there is no need to change its spelling, answer choice D.

(3)It is ragtime that is one form of American music.Characterized both by its distinctive African-American syncopation and conservative European classical structure, (4) ragtime in its heyday from 1900 to 1918 was enjoyed by people of all races and ethnicities.2. Ragtime grew from the marches and jigs popular in the Northern Black communities of the late 19th century. Historians consider 1897 the beginning of mature ragtime. A “rag” can have varied (5) instrumentation; but usually it is written for piano. Ragtime songs have a vocal part, but much of the music makes the piano (6) center stage. Predating recorded music, ragtime was distributed almost exclusively as sheet music, which was performed by amateur pianists in homes and cafes around the country. For this reason, many consider ragtime to be a form of classical music. Public performances by ragtime composers were in short supply, but high demand. One alternative to seeing a great performance was to hear the piece on a player piano. The first official ragtime hitwas Scott Joplin’s Maple Leaf Rag, published in 1899. America was enthralled by this sophisticated composition.3.[1] Today, Joplin is the most famous figure in ragtime history.[2] He first (7) showed great musical potential at a young age, and when his family moved to a new home in Texas, his mother worked long hours to earn enough money to buy a piano for him.[3] His abilities were noticed by a German piano teacher (8) he gave Joplin free lessons and instilled in him good classical technique.[4] Soon enough, Joplin was a skilled musician and began studying music composition (9) at George Smith College in Sedalia, Missouri.[5] After some years as a traveling musician, (10) where he eventually settled back in Sedalia and became a (11) pianist at several, popular, black men’s clubs.[6] It was during this phase of his career that he composed his Maple Leaf Rag, (12) the piano piece that propelled him, and ragtime itself into national prominence.(13)4.The ragtime style illustrates how people of diverse heritage can create unique music that (14) lots of people like. Ragtime gave way to jazz by the 1920s. Audio recording was becoming popular at the same time. The piano was no longer required and jazz albums began playing in living rooms across the country. Like all folk music, though, jazz pays homage to its predecessor—ragtime—by borrowing its style, rhythm, and mood.Q. Which of the following alternatives to the underlined portion would be LEAST acceptable?

We had left our first vegetable garden in the midst of early growing season, a time when (2) careful monitoring of emerging seeds is essential to ensure their vitality. Only a serious family matter would have (3) as an instigation for such a departure.We arrived home three weeks later (4) to witness an incredible transformation (5) upon our return. Not only had the broccoli stalks and scarlet radishes come to bear fruit, but (6) they are the local deer population had decided to make a meal of our freshly sprouted crop. Deer do not use a freshly sharpened kitchen knife to remove delicious morsels from their stems. Rather, the animals gnaw and shred at the plants with their vegetarian teeth, leaving a mess of rejected foliage, hoof prints, and raw vegetable soup. (7)Our four-foot twig garden fence suddenly appeared comical and (8) humorously purely decorative. There was obviously a lack of real (9) deterring qualities, that needed to be remedied quickly. Even though we were now back home to stand guard, our absence had inadvertently established our kitchen garden as a food plot for the nearby wildlife. Deer are typically night eaters, and we weren’t about to change our own sleeping patterns to accommodate them! Stopping the deer would (10) require a concerted, multi-pronged approach.(11) Following a tedious journey to the local hardware store, we assembled our army’s ammunition: 350 feet of chicken wire; a box of four-inch screws; neon-orange plastic ribbon; and a heavy duty staple gun. Unrolling a 350-foot roll of chicken wire is no easy task. Constructing the bottom tier of the fence was (12) just as daunting; one person unrolled the four-foot wide tube while another person followed behind, stapling the chicken wire to the existing fence posts. Tackling the second row was another story altogether. Since our original posts were a mere four feet high, each post needed a four-foot extension attached to it, followed by another round of chicken wire.After hours of back-breaking work, we stood back to admire (13) this new fence. The big test would come when darkness fell. Deer can and will leap over an eight-foot barrier if necessary, but our saving grace would be the intimidation factor of our new fence, with its metallic outline glinting in the moonlight and neon-orange tags flapping in the wind. (14) Swift and beautiful leapers, the newness and appearance of the enclosure should nonetheless serve to frighten away our backyard deer.It has been two months since the transformation of our little twig-fenced garden into a chicken-wired vegetable prison. Each night we sit down (15) to the likes of delicious sweet corn, baked zucchini, tomato and cucumber salad, and snap beans. No broccoli or radishes this year, but we’re already discussing the blueberry bushes and strawberry plants for next year. First, though, we will give some serious thought to the black bears that live in our woods.Q. (13)Given that all the choices are true, which one provides the most specific detail and maintains the style and tone of the essay?
