Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 103: Answer and Explanation
Question: 103
When the speaker was done, the crowd rose and clapped vigorously. Yet, at the question and answer session, attentive spectators __________ several points-particularly that the speech's moral lesson came off as condescending and was generally unfounded.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
- A. increased salary
- B. elevated
- C. put forward
- D. nourished
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
(C) This line is referring to viewers who brought up, or presented, points that weakened the speaker's credibility. Therefore, the meaning is that they put forward several points. (A) is the type of raise one might get at a job. (B) is the definition for raise when it refers to lifting something up. (D) indicates bringing up and caring for someone, as a mother might raise a child. Make sure to read the sentence with the choices replacing the underlined portion if you are struggling between two answer choices.
