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

A

that of a corporate employee

B

those faced by a corporate employee

C

a corporate employee

D

corporate employees

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the best answer. The sentence compares the "career trajectory" (singular) of an artist to that of an employee. "That of" correctly replaces the singular antecedent.

Choice B is incorrect because "those" is plural. Choice C is incorrect because it compares "trajectory" to an "employee." Choice D is incorrect because it compares "trajectory" to "employees."
