To select the correct answer from the given list, we need to identify the noun or group of words that correctly completes the sentence.
Let's break down the sentence:
"The marching band, the members of the football team, ran as fast as they could toward the buses to avoid getting soaked by the rain."
In this sentence, there are two noun phrases: "the marching band" and "the members of the football team."
To determine which one should be selected, we need to consider the meaning and structure of the sentence. The phrase "to avoid getting soaked by the rain" suggests that the individuals are running for a specific purpose.
