Nigerian American artist Toyin Ojih Odutola uses black-ink pens to create highly detailed drawings of human figures. Her portrait of novelist Zadie _______is displayed in the National Portrait Gallery in London. 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 punctuation use between a subject and a verb. No punctuation is needed when, as in this case, a subject (“Her portrait of novelist Zadie Smith”) is immediately followed by a main verb (“is displayed”). Choice A is incorrect because no punctuation is needed between the subject and the verb. Choice B is incorrect because no punctuation is needed between the subject and the verb. Choice D is incorrect because no punctuation is needed between the subject and the verb.
