Which 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.
