In her 1983 book The Managed Heart: Commercialization of Human Feeling, sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild first explored at length her conception of a “sociology of emotions”—the idea that the various cultural and ideological frameworks a person has internalized (class, gender, political affiliation, etc.) _______ each emotional reaction that person has within a situation. Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
Correct answer: C (parsed from the explanation — this source omits an answer key for this item)
Explanation
Choice C is the best answer. The convention being tested is subject-verb agreement. The plural verb “underlie” agrees in number with the plural subject “frameworks.” Choice A is incorrect because the singular verb “underlies” doesn’t agree in number with the plural subject “frameworks.” Choice B is incorrect because the singular verb “is underlying” doesn’t agree in number with the plural subject “frameworks.” Choice D is incorrect because the singular verb “has been underlying” doesn’t agree in number with the plural subject “frameworks.”
