Question

the big trail was shot on grandeur 70, an early widescreen film format used by hollywood studios between 1929 and 1930. using creative camera angles and images with a high width - to - height aspect ratio, the big trail director raoul walsh took advantage of the novel format ______ the epic landscapes of the american west. which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of standard english? choose 1 answer: a having been showcased b to showcase c is showcasing d will showcase

Explanation:

The sentence structure requires an infinitive to show purpose. "To showcase" (infinitive) correctly indicates the purpose of using the format. "Having been showcased" (passive - perfect participle) is incorrect as it's not in active voice for the director's action. "Is showcasing" (present continuous) and "will showcase" (future) don't fit the context of showing purpose.

Answer:

B. to showcase
