Question

wanting to make crispy french fries without all the oil typically used in ______ engineer fred van der weij built the first air fryer in 2006. which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of standard english? choose 1 answer: a deep frying; dutch b deep frying. dutch c deep frying, dutch d deep frying dutch

Explanation:

To determine the correct punctuation and usage, we analyze the sentence structure. The first part "in deep frying" is a prepositional phrase, and "Dutch" is an adjective describing "engineer". A comma is appropriate to separate the prepositional phrase from the noun phrase "Dutch engineer" for clarity and to follow Standard English conventions. Option A uses a semicolon which is incorrect as the two parts are not independent clauses. Option B uses a period which would create a sentence fragment. Option D lacks any punctuation, making the sentence unclear. Option C uses a comma to properly separate the phrase and the adjective, conforming to Standard English.

Answer:

C. deep frying, Dutch
