writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
using steel
B
a steel bridge
C
building with steel
D
that of steel
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The sentence compares a "bridge" (noun) to a "steel bridge" (noun). This is a logical comparison.
Choice A is incorrect because it compares a "bridge" to an action ("using"). Choice C is incorrect because it compares a "bridge" to an action ("building"). Choice D is incorrect because "that of steel" creates an unclear comparison.
