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

A

repeat

B

repeat again

C

say again

D

repeat back

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the best answer. "Repeat" means to say or do something again.

Choice B is incorrect because "again" is part of the definition of "repeat." Choice C is incorrect because "say again" is two words where one ("repeat") suffices. Choice D is incorrect because "back" is unnecessary.
