Question 11

Change 'immanent' to 'eminent' in sentence 15.

The change needed in the fourth paragraph is to replace 'immanent' with 'eminent' in sentence 15, as 'eminent' appropriately describes someone or something that is famous and respected within a particular sphere, which contrasts with the context of the sentence.

A) In sentence 15, change 'immanent' to 'eminent'

This option is correct because 'eminent' fits the context of the sentence, emphasizing how the author has become accustomed to the city's constant activity. The term 'immanent' would be incorrect here, as it refers to something inherent or existing within, which does not align with the intended meaning of the sentence.

B) In sentence 15, change 'dual' to 'duel'

This option is incorrect as it misrepresents the intended meaning of the sentence. The word 'dual' refers to two parts or aspects, which could relate to the author's bilingual experience. Changing it to 'duel' would not make sense in the context, as 'duel' refers to a contest or conflict between two parties.

C) In sentence 16, change 'inspire' to 'aspire'

This option is incorrect because neither 'inspire' nor 'aspire' appears in sentence 16. The sentence discusses the constant activity in the city, and neither word fits the context, making this change irrelevant and incorrect.

D) In sentence 17, change 'proceeded' to 'preceded'

This option is incorrect as it does not relate to the content of the paragraph. The words 'proceeded' and 'preceded' do not appear in sentence 17, which instead focuses on the author's reflections about returning to Texas. Thus, this option does not address any necessary change.

Conclusion

The only appropriate change is to modify 'immanent' to 'eminent' in sentence 15, as this accurately conveys the author's adaptation to the city's vibrancy. All other options either misinterpret the original text or introduce unrelated terms that fail to enhance the clarity and meaning of the sentences.
