writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
those of Paris
B
that of Paris
C
in Paris
D
Paris
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. The sentence compares the existence of ruins in one place ("in Rome") to another place ("in Paris").
Choice A is incorrect because "those of Paris" implies possession rather than location, and creates an illogical comparison structure with "There are more." Choice B is incorrect because "that" has no antecedent. Choice D is incorrect because it compares a prepositional phrase "in Rome" to a noun "Paris."
