Directions: This question presents a sentence, all or part of which is underlined. Beneath the sentence you will find five ways of phrasing the underlined part. The first of these repeats the original; the other four are different. If you think the original is best, choose the first answer; otherwise choose one of the others.

The lines seem to shift and shimmer as you look at them; before long one has a powerful desire to look away, anywhere but at the painfully dazzling pattern in front.
