Answer:

D• path, paving

Explanation:

To find the unacceptable alternative, let’s first figure out the meaning of the original sentence. Two things happened: first the county cleared the path, and then the county paved it. So any answer choices that express this sequence of events would fit the sentence, and thus not be the "wrong" answer that we are looking for here. Answers A, B, and C all express the same idea in slightly different ways, creating perfectly grammatical phrases.

Now let’s see what happens when we plug in answer J. We get this weird sentence:

“The county cleared this path paved it with packed gravel…”

This is clearly a run-on sentence, so answer J is our odd man out.

Hope this helps!

We dance round in a ring and suppose, But the Secret sits in the middle and knows.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer and explanation:

This is a quote by Robert Frost taken from his poem "The Secrets Sits", and the interpretation we can come up with after reading it, is that we (humans) spend a large part of our lifetime stressing over things that won't matter on our last days (being material things for example) and in that sense we keep "dacing round in a ring" while contemplating. Then at the center (the middle) of our lives there is a huge power that we do not comprehend and we, humans, can only try to guess what this power means.
