Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

A

utility

B

ornamentation

C

history

D

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.
