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

A

they

B

he

C

you

D

it

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the best answer. The antecedent is "musicians" (plural). The subject pronoun "they" correctly agrees in number.

Choice B is incorrect because "he" is singular. Choice C is incorrect because "you" shifts to the second person. Choice D is incorrect because "it" refers to a singular object.
