writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
species
B
type of species
C
species type
D
variety of species
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. "Species" is the specific scientific term.
Choice B is incorrect because "type of" is redundant; a species is a type. Choice C is incorrect because "type" is repetitive. Choice D is incorrect because "variety" is unnecessary when "species" is used.
