Read this excerpt from a travel journal.Today we circled D.C.’s tidal basin – it was amazing! We started at the Jefferson Memorial, with its towering statue and familiar quotes. Then, it was on to the newer FDR memorial.
Answer
A
The FDR memorial is stunning; its historical depiction of the Depression era and the country’s recovery is unrivaled.
B
My family relished the carefully manicured grounds of the exquisite FDR Memorial, replete with waterfalls and statues.
C
We loved the lifelike statues and tumbling water falls that led us through the memorial’s grounds.
D
The FDR memorial, constructed in the 1990s, celebrates FDR’s three terms with statues and waterfalls.
Explanation
The journal uses a personal, conversational style: “it was amazing!” and “Then, it was on to...” The best continuation keeps that same first-person, informal tone while describing what the visitors saw. “We loved the lifelike statues and tumbling waterfalls” does this; the other choices sound more formal or give historical information rather than continuing the travel-journal experience.
