Which 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."
