Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
invites
B
invite
C
are inviting
D
have invited
Explanation
Correct answer: A.
Choice A is the best answer. The convention being tested is subject-verb agreement. The singular verb “invites” agrees in number with the singular subject “Tracy Fullerton’s Walden, a game.”
Why the other choices are wrong
Choice B
Choice B is incorrect because the plural verb “invite” doesn’t agree in number with the singular subject “Tracy Fullerton’s Walden, a game.”
Choice C
Choice C is incorrect because the plural verb “are inviting” doesn’t agree in number with the singular subject “Tracy Fullerton’s Walden, a game.”
Choice D
Choice D is incorrect because the plural verb “have invited” doesn’t agree in number with the singular subject “Tracy Fullerton’s Walden, a game.”
