offering a poetic description of Wyoming’s natural beauty

Explanation: The author closes the passage by poetically describing the natural beauty of Wyoming’s landscape—including its “mountains,” “lodgepole pine,” and “bright blue sky”—which, she says, is her reason for choosing to live in the state. By ending the passage this way, the author leaves her audience with a series of compelling images of Wyoming; such positive images transcend the stereotypes about the state and its people, mentioned in the first two paragraphs, that the author aims to dispel in the passage as a whole
