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

A

settings

B

arenas

C

venues

D

venue

Correct Answer: D

Choice D is the best answer. The sentence describes a single specific place ("an aircraft carrier"), so the singular noun "venue" is required.

Choice A is incorrect because "settings" is plural. Choice B is incorrect because "arenas" is plural. Choice C is incorrect because "venues" is plural.
