Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

A

local

B

local and nearby

C

nearby local

D

neighboring local

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the best answer. "Local" means belonging to a particular area or neighborhood.

Choice B is incorrect because "nearby" is implied by "local." Choice C is incorrect because "nearby" is redundant. Choice D is incorrect because "neighboring" means the same as "local" in this context.
