writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
New York.
B
New York’s.
C
the pizza in New York.
D
pizzerias in New York.
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The sentence compares "deep-dish pizza" (singular) in Chicago to that in New York. "New York's" acts as a possessive noun implying "New York's pizza."
Choice A is incorrect because it compares "pizza" to a "city." Choice C is incorrect because while logical, Choice B is more concise and follows the standard possessive comparison pattern. Choice D is incorrect because it compares "pizza" to "pizzerias."
