writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
vast, in this series. The camera
B
vast, in this series- The camera
C
vast, in this series; The camera
D
vast; in this series, The camera
Correct Answer: D
Choice D is the best answer. A semicolon separates independent clauses ("The documentary... captures..." and "in this series, The camera...").
Choice A is incorrect because it creates a comma splice. Choice B is incorrect because a dash doesn't fix the run-on. Choice C is incorrect because capitalization of "The" suggests a new sentence, but the semicolon joins them.
