Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

A

oddities

B

strange and unusual oddities

C

rare oddities and curiosities

D

unusual and strange oddities

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the best answer. "Oddities" encompasses strange or unusual items.

Choice B is incorrect because "strange and unusual" defines the word "oddities," creating redundancy. Choice C is incorrect because "oddities and curiosities" are synonyms in this context. Choice D is incorrect because "unusual and strange" is repetitive.
