Question

It can take time for proposed amendments to the US Constitution to become law. For example, the Twenty-Second Amendment, which limits the number of blank can serve, was first proposed in 1947 but wasn’t approved by the required three-fourths majority of state legislatures until 1951.

Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

Accepted Answer

Choice A is the best answer. The convention being tested is the use of plural nouns. The plural nouns "terms" and "presidents" correctly indie that the amendment involves multiple terms and applies to presidents in general. Choice B is incorrect because the context requires the plural noun "terms," not the singular possessive noun "term&rsquo;s." Choice C is incorrect because the context requires the plural nouns "terms" and "presidents," not the singular possessive nouns "term&rsquo;s" and "president&rsquo;s." Choice D is incorrect because the context requires the plural noun "presidents," not the singular possessive noun "president&rsquo;s."
