Explanation:

Correct option 1: only 'A'

The word "variety" generally means a number of different types or kinds of something.

Let’s examine each sentence:

A. "The couple had similar tastes in a variety of things..."
Correct usage – "variety" refers to different kinds of things the couple liked.

B. "The twins had a variety in clothing taste..."
Awkward usage – "variety" is not typically used in this construction; “differences in taste” or “different tastes” would be more appropriate.

C. "The bookstore had one of two genres of books, and a great variety of genres was found in the store."
Logically flawed – “a great variety of genres” refers to many different types of genres. However, the first part of the sentence contradicts the idea (“had one of two genres…”), which makes the sentence logically inconsistent.

So the best answers are:

A – Correct
B – Incorrect
C – Logically flawed

Correct answer: 1. Only A
