Question 1 Answer
The best answer is C, which concisely conveys the idea that the
practice landing referred to was the last one in a series.
In contrast, the
other choices are redundant.
Choice A belabors the point that "the final
performance" was indeed the "last" performance (and confusingly suggests
that
there was more than one performance of a single landing).
Choice B pointlessly
repeats the notion of finality in the redundant phrase "finally ultimate"
(and
confusingly suggests that all the landings strove to be ultimate, but only the
last landing succeeded).
Choice D is simply redundant because the words last
and final in the sentence are synonymous.
