Question

a conceptual artist and designer embraced by both the art world and the fashion ______ mary ping was chosen to curate the exhibition front row: chinese american designers for the museum of chinese in america. which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of standard english? choose 1 answer: a world b world: c world; d world,

Explanation:

To determine the correct punctuation, we analyze the sentence structure. The phrase "a conceptual artist and designer embraced by both the art world and the fashion world" is an appositive phrase providing additional information about Mary Ping. After an appositive phrase that is not restrictive (and here it's a descriptive phrase), we use a comma to separate it from the main clause. Option D (world,) uses a comma, which is correct for this non - restrictive appositive structure. Option A lacks punctuation, making the sentence run - on. Option B uses a colon, which is inappropriate here as a colon is used to introduce a list, explanation, etc., not to separate an appositive from the main clause. Option C uses a semicolon, but a semicolon is used to separate two independent clauses, and the part before the semicolon here is not an independent clause.

Answer:

D. world,
