The new museum, __ a collection of artifacts from around the world, is set to open next month.
Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
showcasing
B
showcases
C
which showcases
D
to showcase
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is "showcasing." The sentence requires a present participle to create a participial phrase modifying the noun "museum." The phrase "showcasing a collection of artifacts from around the world" describes the museum, functioning as an adjective. The other choices are incorrect because they either introduce a new clause, change the tense of the verb, or fail to use the correct verb form.
