writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
future
B
future to come
C
future years ahead

eventual future
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. "Future" clearly indicates the time yet to come.
Choice B is incorrect because "to come" is redundant with "future." Choice C is incorrect because "years ahead" is implied by "future." Choice D is incorrect because "eventual" is unnecessary.
