play would be the correct verb
Answer:
b. A popular and experienced deputy, Jackson was the clear choice for sheriff.
Explanation:
Introductory phrases are usually followed by a comma, especially when they are long (more than four words). This is so to separate the information of the phrase with the information of the main or independent clause. Option B, therefore, is the correct option because it consists o a phrase and an independent clause separated by a comma.
The other options, on the other hand, are incorrect because when two words (such as in option A and C) are separated by the conjunction “and,” a comma is not usually required, semicolons do not separate introductory phrases (option C) and the clause in option D “Jackson was the clear choice, for sheriff” should not be separated by any punctuation.

The first option is an adjective: it gives an attribute to something.
The second option is a pronoun, here a demonstrative pronoun, which refers to things, and it's more similar to nouns - not an adverb.
The third option is again an adjective.
The correct answer is the last one: D. "very" - it says something about how tall the wrestler is. <span />
