writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
it
B
you get
C
it’s
D
they get
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The passage establishes the second-person point of view with "You might not appreciate." To maintain consistency, the pronoun "you" must be used in the second clause.
Choice A is incorrect because "it" shifts the referent away from the person. Choice C is incorrect because "it’s" stands for "it is," which does not fit the verb "gets." Choice D is incorrect because "they" shifts to the third person.
