US CITIES: English vocabulary and grammar practice: NEW ORLEANS, LA

Here's a new way to learn and practice English: We've developed a series of exercises based on descriptions of some of the most famous American cities. Here's a description of New Orleans, LA. Read it and choose the right word for each blank space :) Good luck!

New Orleans is a major United States port city and the largest city in the state of Louisiana. Its status as a (global/world)-famous tourist destination is due in (part/partly) to its architecture, music, cuisine, its (annul/annual) Mardi Gras, and other celebrations and festivals. It has been called the "most (eunuch/unique) city in America". The city of New Orleans has the lowest (elevator/elevation) in the state of Louisiana, and the third lowest point in the United States. Much of the city is one to ten feet (0.3 to 3 m) (under/below) sea level.

The downside to New Orleans' unique (charisma/charm) is its high (violent/violence) crime rate. Its (insecticide/homicide) rate has consistently ranked in the (top/head) five of large cities in the country since the 1980s. New Orleans residents have a very unique regional accent.
