Explanation:

In writing, the audience refers to the group of people a text is addressing which varies from general audience to specific narrow groups of people. This audience is determined by the purpose of the text, the background or context information it requires to be understood and the information of interest offered in the text. Additionally, the text can explicitly state the audience it addresses or suggests it implicitly. In the case of the text presented "How to prepare for a road trip?" whose purpose is to invite the audience to travel around the U.S. and know the landscape and different places in the country, the audience is stated by the author in the phrase "You're about to graduate from high school. You're starting college, or a new job, in a month" as the author invites this audience to take advantage of the time they had before starting a new job or a career instead of hanging out with their friend or staying at home during this time. Thus,  the sentence that most clearly shows the audience is "You're starting college, or a new job, in a month " because this is the sentence that directly states to the reader the group of people the text is addressing, as this group is the one the author believes can take advantage of the time and do what the text suggests.
