a) usually precedes a wedding, but it is not
essential. A wedding may take place anywhere,
so a church (choice b) is not required. A ring (choice c) is often used in a wedding, but it is not necessary.

aren’t essential either.

that has cages.

it, but it is not essential. A computer (choice c)
uses a directory format to list files, but it is not
required.Names (choice d) are often listed in a
