Part III Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.

Scholars have found that southern US accent features are more accepted in 34 such as government, law and service-oriented workplaces, but less accepted in the technology sector. The acceptability of nonstandard accents may 35 with differences in class and culture, with newer or higher prestige industries expecting more standard speech in the workplace.
