The paragraph that provides the best variety in sentence patterns is B. my cousin the one who lives in Japan just sent me a text message she is excited about traveling and mentioned she would like to see various places including New York and the Grand Canyon.
In this paragraph, the use of compound and complex sentences make it more varied than the other options. In the first sentence, the word <em>who</em> introduces a dependent clause within the main clause that is <em>my cousin sent me a text message.</em> The second sentence is a compound sentence since it contains two Verbal phrases, <em>mentioned and would like to see</em>, joined by the connector <em>and. </em>
The answer is distinctly. Sharon spoke distinctly to the policeman after the accident, giving him clearly understood information about what had happened.
(it could also be clearly, but i didn't want to repeat it since theres already a "clearly" in the sentence.)

<em>so a true sentence will be:</em>
A friendly smile and a firm handshake were working well for Eric.
