Answer: I'm on my way toward making a better life for myself.
Explanation: The highway can be thought of as a route where there are endless possibilities and a long way to go and the old dirt track means a place where there are no good opportunities and everything's not as good as it could be.
The correct answer is <span>3. The path through the park had been worn smooth by countless visitors: by tribes of passing children, by families with picnic baskets, by hikers with their dogs.
In the example above, you need to use a colon to separate these two parts of the sentence. The reason why you should use a colon instead of a comma is because you are listing these 'countless visitors,' including children, families, and hikers. So you are creating a list of people and animals who visit the park, and in order to do that, you ought to use a colon instead of a comma.
