It was at the American School for the Deaf that influences from both French Sign Language and various “home sign” systems would interact, intermingle, and what would become American Sign Language was born.

B. give birth to what became American Sign Language
C. what would become American Sign Language was given birth
D. and American Sign Language, or what would eventually become it, was born

Answer: B
It was at the American School for the Deaf that influences from both French Sign Language and various “home sign” systems would interact, intermingle, and what would become American Sign Language was born.
A. what would become American Sign Language was born
B. give birth to what became American Sign Language
C. what would become American Sign Language was given birth
D. and American Sign Language, or what would eventually become it, was born
E. American Sign Language was birthed
The underlined portion as written is awkward and its meaning unclear. The correct answer will clarify the underlined portion in a way that maintains parallelism with the list of verbs begun by the helping word would.
- Choice A : This option is awkward and does not continue the list of verbs begun by the helping word would.
- Choice B : This option correctly places the verb phrase give birth first, so that the list of verbs is continued; this placement also helps to clarify the meaning of the underlined portion within the context of the sentence.
- Choice C : The words given birth create a passive construction that is even more unclear and awkward than the original.
- Choice D : The words or what would eventually become it create and awkward, unclear construction and do not satisfy the parallelism required in the sentence.
- Choice E : American Sign Language should be placed after the verb, so that the list of verbs begun by the word would is continued in the sentence.
Answer: B
