writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
one
B
you
C
he or she
D
they
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The sentence begins with "Before you handle," establishing the second-person perspective. The main clause must maintain this perspective with "you."
Choice A is incorrect because "one" shifts to the third-person indefinite. Choice C is incorrect because "he or she" shifts to the third person. Choice D is incorrect because "they" shifts to the third-person plural.
