readingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
entertainment is provided
B
for entertaining them
C
entertain them
D
it entertains visitors
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. This question tests parallel structure with infinitives.
- Context clues: The series uses infinitive verb phrases (without "to"): "to educate..., promote..."
- Meaning: Items after "designed to" should be parallel base verbs.
- Verify: "to educate, entertain, and promote" maintains parallel infinitive structure.
💡 Strategy: Items in a series should be grammatically parallel.
Choice A is incorrect because it's a passive clause. Choice B is incorrect because it uses "for + gerund," not an infinitive. Choice D is incorrect because it's a complete clause with different structure.
