Question

1. which sentence is most likely taken from an explanatory text about taking a trip to washington, d.c.?

the georgetown area of washington, d.c., is a great place for shopping or dining because of the many boutiques and restaurants in the area
the city of washington, d.c., was planned by pierre lenfant, an architect who was born in france but moved to america during the revolutionary war
if you would like to tour the capitol, arranging a ticket in advance through your congressional representative will guarantee your entry
you can view the entire two miles of the national mall from the steps of the lincoln memorial, a monument that faces the capitol

Explanation:

To determine the sentence from an explanatory text about taking a trip to Washington, D.C., we analyze each option:

• The first option describes Georgetown's shopping/dining, not trip - related guidance.
• The second option is about the city's planning history, not trip - related.
• The third option gives practical advice (arranging a Capitol tour ticket in advance) which is useful for someone planning a trip to Washington, D.C.
• The fourth option is about viewing the National Mall, but it's more of a descriptive statement rather than explanatory for a trip (no actionable advice for the trip - planning process).

Answer:

C. If you would like to tour the Capitol, arranging a ticket in advance through your Congressional representative will guarantee your entry
