Read the paragraph from a student's essay.

The bicycle is a common, simple form of transportation that has existed for hundreds of years. However, over time, the bicycle has undergone many changes to keep up with the needs
of modern citizens. Today, many people rely on electric bicycles, or e-bikes, to get to their
destinations. E-bikes look just like ordinary bicycles, but they have small motors attached to
them. Unlike motorcycles or scooters, e-bikes can be pedaled, just like ordinary bicycles. The
small motor helps propel the bicycle. As a result, the rider exerts less energy than would be
needed while on a regular one.

Which replacement for the underlined phrase ensures the author uses the MOST precise word choice
in the paragraph?

A) pedaling a traditional bicycle

B) riding the kind of bicycle most citizens use

C) taking a regular bicycle out

D) using a typical bicycle with pedals

the captain of a steam ship naturally chooses the shortest route to his destination. since a sailing ship is usually pushed by winds and currents, its captain must find a route where the wind will probably blow in the right direction. tacking, i.e. using contrary wind to pull (sic) the sails, was always possible but wasted time because of the zigzagging required, and this would significantly delay long voyages. the early european explorers were not only looking for new lands. they also had to discover the pattern of winds and currents that would carry them where they wanted to go. during the age of sail winds and currents determined trade routes and therefore influenced european imperialism and modern political geography. for an outline to the main wind systems see global wind patterns.

pilotage or cabotage, in one sense, is the art of sailing along the coast using known landmarks. navigation, in one sense, is the art of sailing long distances out of sight of land.[1] although the polynesians were able to sail the pacific (with great difficulty) and people regularly sailed north and south across the mediterranean, before the time of columbus nearly all sailing was coastal pilotage
