Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English? Choose 1 answer: (A) poem's putatively written by the novel's (B) poem's putatively written by the novels' (C) poems putatively written by the novels' (D) poems putatively written by the novel's

To determine the correct choice that conforms to the conventions of Standard English, we need to analyze the options based on grammatical correctness and possessive forms. The sentence refers to "poems" that are associated with "the novel." The word "novel" is singular, so we need to use the singular possessive form "novel's." Now, let's evaluate the options: (A) poem's putatively written by the novel's - Incorrect because "poem's" is singular and does not match with "poems." (B) poem's putatively written by the novels' - Incorrect because "novels'" is plural possessive, which does not match the singular "novel." (C) poems putatively written by the novels' - Incorrect because "novels'" is plural possessive, which does not match the singular "novel." (D) poems putatively written by the novel's - Correct because "poems" is plural and "novel's" is the correct singular possessive form. Therefore, the correct choice is: **(D) poems putatively written by the novel's**
