Question

people who experience chromesthesia report seeing different colors and shapes when they hear different sounds. interestingly, studies have identified two groups of people that chromesthesia is particularly ______ musicians and composers. which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of standard english? choose 1 answer: a common in b common in: c common. in d common in;

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context and punctuation. The sentence is saying chromesthesia is particularly common among two groups (musicians and composers). We need to check the correct phrase and punctuation. Option A "common in" is correct because we don't need a colon (so B is out), a period would create a fragment (C is out), and a semicolon is inappropriate here (D is out) as we're introducing the groups with "in" (indicating the groups in which chromesthesia is common).

Answer:

A. common in
