Question

The Lim&oacute;n technique, developed by Mexican-born dancer and choreographer Jose Lim&oacute;n, is known for its emphasis on breath control and its interplay of weight and ______ blank dancers may explore, for example, the moment of mid-air suspension at the top of a jump. Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

Accepted Answer

Choice D is the best answer. The convention being tested is the use of punctuation within a sentence. This choice uses a semicolon in a conventional way to join the first main clause ("The Lim&oacute;n...weightlessness") and the second main clause ("dancers...jump"). Choice A is incorrect because it results in a run-on sentence. The two main clauses are fused without punctuation and/or a conjunction. Choice B is incorrect. The relative pronoun "which" can&rsquo;t be used in this way to join two main clauses. Choice C is incorrect because it results in a comma splice. Without a conjunction following it, a comma can&rsquo;t be used in this way to join two main clauses.
