12.
The correct answer is (C).
It is important to put the question
in context. The phrase represents a transitional point from
Twain’s listing of health benefits at Lake Tahoe to other ap-
proaches that were in vogue then. The reference to slowness
shows that the author was indicating that it will take time for
people to learn about something new and change, choice (C).
Choices (A) and (D) have nothing to do with the selection.
Choice (B) misreads the cited passage by saying there is nothing
new while Twain simply says it takes a while for people to learn
about new things—and then change. Choice (E) is a distracter,
too. There is nothing in the selection about the difference
between good and bad communication.
