writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
that of any other bird
B
any bird
C
any flying creature
D
those of other birds
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. The comparison is between "night vision" (singular) of owls and the night vision of other birds. "That of" correctly replaces the singular antecedent.
Choice B is incorrect because it compares "night vision" to a "bird." Choice C is incorrect because it compares "night vision" to a "creature." Choice D is incorrect because "those" is plural.
