writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
are:
B
are,
C
are;
D
are
Correct Answer: D
Choice D is the best answer. No punctuation is needed between the verb "are" and the predicate nominatives (the list).
Choice A is incorrect because a colon incorrectly separates the verb "are" from its complements. Choice B is incorrect because a comma separates verb and complement. Choice C is incorrect because a semicolon separates verb and complement.
