Question

during the decades - long movement to codify the rights of latinos in the us, certain events were pivotal: the founding of labor rights group el teatro campesino in ______ serna v. portales schools court decision in 1974, which affirmed the rights of latino students, is another such event. which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of standard english? a. 1965, for one, the b. 1965, for one. the c. 1965 for one, the d. 1965. for one, the

Explanation:

• Option A: The first part “1965, for one, the” creates a run - on sentence. A comma after “1965” is correct for separation, but the lack of a proper end - of - sentence punctuation before “the” is wrong.
• Option B: “1965, for one. The” is incorrect. The comma after “1965” is not the right punctuation to end the first part. A period is needed to separate the two independent thoughts (the founding of the group and the court decision) clearly.
• Option C: “1965 for one, the” is wrong. There should be a comma after “1965” (to separate the year from the additional information “for one”), and also, it has the same run - on issue as Option A.
• Option D: “1965. For one, the” is correct. The period after “1965” properly ends the first independent clause (about the founding of the labor rights group). “For one” is an appropriate transition, and the comma after it is used correctly to introduce the next part of the sentence (the court decision example).

Answer:

D. 1965. For one, the
