Answer:

Leafing—a gardener tends plants that have leaves

Explanation:

A landscape can be Urban as well, but plants do tend to have leafs. It's a noticeably odd choice of words and it has a purpose. There's no pun in the use of the words "Enjoy" and "Magazine". But the word leaf can mean two things that relate to the gardener and his action in the excerpt:

<em>"a flattened structure of a higher plant, typically green and blade-like, that is attached to a stem directly or via a stalk"</em>

or

<em>"turn over (the pages of a book or the papers in a pile), reading them quickly or casually"</em>

Answer:

Choice 3

Explanation:

Choice A has my grandparents had last seen before my grandparents were married which does not make sense.

Choice B has an <u>period </u><u>after </u><u>rented</u> an it which does not make sense either

Choice C seems like the proper punctuation and word usage which leads me that this is the <em><u>right </u></em><em><u>choice</u></em>

Choice D says my grandparents had last seen before my grandparents were married which is not the proper usage of the words and hence <u>crosses </u><u>this </u>choice off.

Hope this helps!

The error in logic is overgeneralization because the statement is making a generalization about all people having access to the computers, which isn't necessarily true. (For example, there might be issues with money or location.)
