readingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
represent
B
have represented
C
are representing
D
represents
Correct Answer: D
Choice D is the best answer. The subject is "the solid black circle" (singular). The prepositional phrases "in a white void" modify the subject but do not change its number. The verb must be singular. "Represents" is the correct form.
