writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
science, it requires
B
science: it requires,
C
science; it requires
D
science it requires
Correct Answer: D
Choice D is the best answer. No punctuation is needed between the noun "science" and the relative clause "it requires" because the clause defines the noun.
Choice A is incorrect because the comma creates a comma splice. Choice B is incorrect because a colon breaks the grammatical flow before the list begins. Choice C is incorrect because a semicolon separates two independent clauses, but the second part is dependent here.
