Question #N1211
The museum’s newest exhibit was a great success, but one could argue that the exhibit’s title was misleading. It was called "The Art of the Americas," which, by the way, made some visitors believe the exhibit covered all the Americas. However, the exhibit was focused only on art from North America. That is, the exhibition did not include works from the Americas south of the United States.
Which choice best combines the sentences at the underlined portion into a single sentence that is consistent with the conventions of Standard English?Correct Answer is: C
Choice C is the best option because it combines the sentences without introducing a new clause or changing the meaning of the sentence. Choice A is incorrect because it contains a comma splice, which is a grammatical error. Choice B is incorrect because it makes the exhibit the subject of the clause "making some visitors believe the exhibit covered all the Americas," which doesn’t make sense in the context of the sentence. Choice D is incorrect because the word "leading" implies that visitors were encouraged to believe that the exhibit covered all the Americas, but the text states that some visitors simply believed this.
