To determine if a change is needed to the underlined text "a trail that goes on for," we need to assess how well it conveys the intended meaning and clarity of the sentence.
1. **"a trail that goes on for"** – This phrase is somewhat vague. It suggests duration but doesn't specify what the trail goes on for (e.g., distance, time).
2. **"a trail that extends"** – This is a clearer expression of the trail's length or reach without implying a specific duration.
3. **"a very long trail that takes"** – This implies not only length but also suggests a time associated with traveling the trail, which might not be necessary.
4. **"an extensive trail that extends"** – This also suggests length and includes "extends," which implies a long stretch, making it clear.
5. **"No change"** – This would mean keeping the original wording.
Considering clarity and conciseness, the suggested change of **"a trail that extends"** (option M) provides a clearer description without unnecessary details.
Thus, if a change is wanted, option M is the most effective. If clarity and conciseness are priorities, option R is also a good choice.
Final recommendation: **M. a trail that extends.**
