writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
previously
B
previously in the past
C
formerly in the past
D
originally in the past
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. "Previously" indicates the action happened before.
Choice B is incorrect because "in the past" is the definition of "previously." Choice C is incorrect because "formerly" and "in the past" are redundant. Choice D is incorrect because "originally" implies "in the past."
