- The road he's driving on now.

Explanation:

As per the given description, the sample in the given passage would be 'the road he's driving on now' because it is taken as a representative of all the roads of that county and on which the general measurement or judgment is made. Thus, the deterioration of the pavement on the road going towards Montclair from Glenn County is taken as the sample or representative of the entire population of roads of County and turns in the general conclusion that 'they don't keep up their roads very well in this county'. Therefore, 'the road on which Harold is driving' exemplifies the sample.
