Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
Explanation
Context: The subject is "She" (Pomo artist Susan Billy) — singular. The sentence states her typical practice — a habitual present-tense fact.
Answer: B) weaves
Why? Singular subject "She" → singular present verb "weaves." Simple present for a habitual action.
Traps:
- A) weaving → non-finite participle, not a main verb — creates a fragment
- C) to weave → infinitive, not a main verb — creates a fragment
- D) to be weaving → perfect infinitive, not a main verb
