Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

A

Since the pandemic began,

B

Since the pandemic began

C

Since, the pandemic began,

D

Since the pandemic, began,

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the best answer. This question tests comma usage after introductory clauses.

  1. Context clues: A "since" clause introduces the main clause.
  2. Meaning: Use a comma after an introductory dependent clause.
  3. Verify: "Since the pandemic began, many organizations have adopted..." correctly separates.

💡 Strategy: Always use a comma after an introductory dependent clause.

Choice B is incorrect because it lacks the required comma. Choice C is incorrect because the comma after "Since" is incorrect. Choice D is incorrect because the comma splits the clause incorrectly.
