In a painting titled “The Milkmaid” by Johannes Vermeer, the artist prominently features a bread basket, milk pitcher, and bowl. Such quotidian objects, depicted in exquisite detail by Vermeer, a painter celebrated for his naturalism, _______ the daily minutiae of a seventeenth-century Dutch household. Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
Correct answer: D (parsed from the explanation — this source omits an answer key for this item)
Explanation
Choice D is the best answer. The convention being tested is subject-verb agreement. The plural verb “reveal” agrees in number with the plural subject “objects.” Choice A is incorrect because the singular verb “was revealing” doesn’t agree in number with the plural subject “objects.” Choice B is incorrect because the singular verb “has revealed” doesn’t agree in number with the plural subject “objects.” Choice C is incorrect because the singular verb “reveals” doesn’t agree in number with the plural subject “objects.”
