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

A

then, without warning,

B

then without warning,

C

then, without warning

D

then without warning

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the best answer. The phrase "without warning" is a parenthetical interrupter. It breaks the flow of the sentence to add detail and should be enclosed in commas.

Choice B is incorrect because it lacks the opening comma. Choice C is incorrect because it is missing the closing comma after "warning." Choice D is incorrect because it lacks punctuation entirely for the interrupter.
