writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
anyone
B
anyone else's
C
anyone she saw
D
anyone else
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The sentence compares the gymnast's "routine" (possession) to the routine of others. "Anyone else's" (possessive) implies "anyone else's routine."
Choice A is incorrect because it compares a "routine" to a "person." Choice C is incorrect because it compares "routine" to "anyone." Choice D is incorrect because it compares "routine" to "anyone else."
