Question

although interpretations of its meaning differ, ______ is both a great work of art and a powerful political statement. which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of standard english? choose 1 answer: a guernica, picassos famous wartime painting, b guernica picassos famous wartime painting c guernica, picassos famous wartime painting d guernica, picasso’s famous wartime painting—

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the punctuation and structure. The phrase "Picasso's famous wartime painting" is an appositive that provides additional information about "Guernica". In option A, the comma after "painting" is incorrect as it would create an awkward break. Option B lacks a comma to separate the appositive, making it a run - on. Option D uses a dash which is inappropriate here. Option C correctly uses a comma to set off the appositive phrase, and the structure is in line with Standard English conventions.

Answer:

C. Guernica, Picasso's famous wartime painting
