writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
revolution
B
new revolution
C
novel revolution
D
new and novel revolution
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. A "revolution" implies a significant change; modifiers like "new" are often redundant unless distinguishing from an old one.
Choice B is incorrect because "new" is redundant; a revolution is inherently a new change. Choice C is incorrect because "novel" means new, creating redundancy. Choice D is incorrect because "new and novel" is repetitive.
