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>

<u>Answer</u>:
In the sentence - Riding a bicycle to work doesn't just conserve fuel, it also contributes to a person's physical and mental well-being. The thing that is wrong with this text and visual aid is that the image of the cars doesn't relate to the information about bicycles in the text. So, the correct answer is Option C.
<u>Explanation</u>:
The use of "doesn't just conserve fuel” is wrong in this sentence. When the sentence is emphasising on the benefits of cycling to work it must be framed accordingly. The structure of the sentence is wrong which gives an impression of cars in the beginning.
Rather it should be “riding a bicycle to work not only conserves fuel, but also contributes to a person's physical and mental well-being.” The use of "not only...but also" in a sentence helps in stating the real meaning. It clearly conveys that one of the benefits of cycling is conserving fuel.
