Trained specifically to identify counterfeit currency, ______
Which choice most logically and grammatically completes the sentence?
Which choice most logically and grammatically completes the sentence?
Answer and explanation
Answer: C: the bank teller quickly flagged the suspicious bills.
The opening phrase "Trained specifically to identify counterfeit currency" describes a person or entity capable of receiving training for this task, so it must attach to a noun naming that trained party immediately after the comma. Only the bank teller fits. A places "the suspicious bills" right after the comma, which would illogically suggest the bills themselves were trained to identify counterfeits. B and D both fail to supply the needed noun immediately after the comma for the opening phrase to attach to.
