3.
The correct answer is (A).
Occasionally the obvious is the
answer. Choices (B), (C), and (E) do not reflect the tone or
subject matter addressed by the author. The piece is not erudite,
so you can eliminate choice (B). There is no irony in the
author’s word, ruling out choice (C). While the author points up
some faults of European countries, the focus is on America, and
the tone is not angry, choice (E). The possibilities come down to
choices (A) and (D). Choice (D) is in the running only because
of the word
fascinating. The piece is arguably fascinating, but
clearly it is not a narrative, so eliminate choice (D). The piece is
a straightforward description of what the author considers the
American dream to be.
