How a folktale begins depends largely on the language in which it originates. Many folktales in the Algerian Arabic language open with a phrase that roughly translates to “I’ve told you what’s coming.” Tales in        the other hand, often begin with “once upon a time.”
Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
English: on
B
English, on
C
English. On
D
English—on
