writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
to party
B
partying
C

D
having a party
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. The sentence uses parallel structure: "more important to study... than to party..."
Choice B is incorrect because it compares an infinitive ("to study") to a gerund ("partying"). Choice C is incorrect because it compares an infinitive to a noun. Choice D is incorrect because it compares an infinitive to a gerund phrase.
