writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
postpone until later
B
postpone
C
delay to a later time
D
postpone to the future
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. "Postpone" means to arrange for something to take place at a time later than originally scheduled.
Choice A is incorrect because "until later" is implied by "postpone." Choice C is incorrect because "delay to a later time" is wordy and redundant. Choice D is incorrect because "to the future" is implied by the act of postponing.
