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

A

posters,

B

posters

C

posters-

D

posters:

Correct Answer: B

Choice B is the best answer. No punctuation is needed between the subject "posters" and the restrictive relative clause "that are scratched..."

Choice A is incorrect because a comma should not be used with a restrictive clause. Choice C is incorrect because a dash is unnecessary. Choice D is incorrect because a colon is unnecessary.
