readingWhich choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A
utility
B
ornamentation
C
history

luxury
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. The text contrasts "aesthetic appeal" (looks) with being "practical for everyday wear." "Utility" means the state of being useful, profitable, or beneficial.
Choice B is incorrect because "ornamentation" refers to looks. Choice C is incorrect because "history" refers to the past. Choice D is incorrect because "luxury" refers to comfort/expense.
