Question

as far as farewell ____ of all time in 2023.
which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of standard english?
choose 1 answer:
a concert tours go, elton john’s became the highest grossing.
b concert tours go, elton john’s became the highest grossing
c concert tours go—elton john’s—became the highest grossing
d concert tours go, elton john’s, became the highest grossing

Explanation:

Option A is correct. This sentence uses the standard structure for the comparison phrase "As far as X go," and correctly uses the possessive Elton John's (referring to his farewell tour) and the natural clause structure to convey that his tour was the highest grossing farewell concert tour of 2023. Option B has an identical text to A with a different label, it is a duplicate distractor. Option C uses em dashes incorrectly, breaking the flow of the comparison phrase unnecessarily. Option D adds an extra comma after Elton John's which creates an incorrect comma splice and disrupts the sentence grammar.

Answer:

A concert tours go, Elton John's became the highest grossing.
