My best friend Mike is notorious for ignoring many of the modern conveniences that most people could not live (1) without he’d sooner handwrite anything than sit at a computer to type.He (2) insists that, it would be too much trouble to learn all of the functions on a word-processing program. So, I was not the least bit surprised to hear of his disappointment in his evening last Friday. Apparently, he (3) is very excited to host some friends from work at his apartment for the first time. Within minutes of their arrival, one of them reached for the television remote and punched in a channel. Alerted by the sound of static from the TV, Mike realized immediately what was happening: the first game of the playoffs was on and he didn’t have cable service!(4) Therefore, he asserts he has no desire to have more than a few channels to flip through, but I imagine at that moment on Friday evening, he had wished for cable service.(5)2.To help my friend, I said I would look into (6) it for him. I spoke to a sales agent with the cable company about the different packages of channels available to someone living in Mike’s apartment building. She started by describing the most premium package, (7) so I quickly interrupted her to say she should begin with the cheapest offer. She insisted that the premium package was amazing, with many extra (8) sports, and movie channels.I assured her that the cheapest possible option, when she told me it was only $15 per month, would more than suffice, I arranged to have it installed. I knew it would be worth it to Mike.3. [1] During his first few days with cable, Mike (10) has sat in front of his (11) TV; when before he would have been reading a comic book or milling around the apartment.[2] He is fond of animal documentaries and can’t believe how many of them he finds every day across the 70 channels.[3] I showed him how (12) to program his VCR to record what he likes.4.[1] With this discovery of cable television, I suspect Mike might take more kindly to technology in the future.[2] Soon I hope to introduce to him to the Internet and maybe even the cellular phone.[3] (13) I doubt he’ll turn out to be a gadget-lover like me someday.(14)Q.The writer is considering deleting Sentence 2 of Paragraph 3. If the writer removed this sentence, the essay would primarily lose:a)an interesting detail about how Mike is benefiting from cable television.b)details supporting the fact that Mike is inexperienced with cable television.c)a humorous blend of descriptive detail and relevant information.d)proof that Mike will continue to pay the $15 per month for cable service.Correct answer is option 'A'.
