writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
Primatologists
B
Primatologists who study monkeys
C
People who are primatologists
D
Primatologists in the field
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. "Primatologists" are scientists who study primates; no further definition is needed.
Choice B is incorrect because "who study monkeys" is part of the definition of a primatologist. Choice C is incorrect because "People who are" is unnecessary wordiness. Choice D is incorrect because "in the field" is redundant given the context of the sentence "in the wild."
