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

A

marvels

B

feat

C

a triumph

D

achievements

Correct Answer: C

Choice C is the best answer. "A triumph" serves as a singular appositive renaming the singular concept of the airplane/development mentioned.

Choice A is incorrect because "marvels" is plural. Choice B is incorrect because "feat" is singular but lacks the article "a" which is necessary here. Choice D is incorrect because "achievements" is plural.
