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

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.
