_______ the marketing team revised the product launch strategy.
Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
Having reviewed the latest consumer data,
Having reviewed the latest consumer data, the product launch strategy
The latest consumer data having been reviewed,
Reviewing the latest consumer data, the strategy
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. This question tests dangling modifier correction.
- Context clues: The modifier must logically connect to "the marketing team."
- Meaning: The team reviewed the data and then revised the strategy.
- Verify: "Having reviewed... the marketing team revised" correctly shows who did the reviewing.
💡 Strategy: The subject immediately after an introductory participial phrase must be doing that action.
Choice B is incorrect because "the product launch strategy" cannot review data. Choice C is incorrect because it makes the team the thing reviewed. Choice D is incorrect because "the strategy" cannot review data.
