readingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
alternatives should be evaluated
B
evaluation of alternatives
C
evaluate alternatives
D
where alternatives are evaluated
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. This question tests parallel structure in a series.
- Context clues: The series uses infinitive phrases: "how to identify..., implement..."
- Meaning: Items must maintain the same grammatical form.
- Verify: "how to identify..., evaluate..., and implement" maintains parallel infinitives.
💡 Strategy: Items in a series must be parallel in grammatical form.
Choice A is incorrect because it's a passive clause. Choice B is incorrect because it's a noun phrase, not an infinitive. Choice D is incorrect because it's a subordinate clause.
