Question

an art installation in dublin, ohio, features 109 concrete ears of ______ the piece is actually called “field of corn with osage oranges,” the locals have dubbed it “cornhenge.”
which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of standard english?
choose 1 answer:
a corn, though
b corn. though
c corn though
d corn, though;

Explanation:

1. The first blank needs to end the first independent clause, so we need a period after "corn" to separate the two complete sentences.
2. "Though" starts the second independent clause, so it must be capitalized as the first word of the new sentence.
3. Option A incorrectly uses a comma splice to connect two independent clauses. Option C has no punctuation separating the two clauses creating a run-on sentence. Option D incorrectly adds an unnecessary semicolon after "though".

Answer:

B. corn. Though
