Answer 2

Answer:

If in the underlined portion option a is substituted, then it will make complete sense if it is used with a comma, and the sentence would be: The county cleared this path, 'paving it with gravel' so they would have a 'peaceful place to hike and bike'. Similarly, in the second option, it would be path and then paved it.

3rd option also makes the sense :- The county cleared this path before paving it with packed gravel, so they would have a peaceful place to hike and bike.

4th option doesn't mean anything..

so here the correct answer must be option d path paved
