Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 12: Answer and Explanation

Question: 12

Principal USDA Food Guides, 1940s-1980s

Source: USDA.Gov

According to the table, the recommendations regarding sweets have historically been

  • A. explicit.
  • B. ambiguous.
  • C. lenient.
  • D. static.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

(B) Analyze the table for this question. Never is there a definite, clear recommendation for how many servings of sweets one should or should not eat. This is an example of something ambiguous, which is another word for unclear. Explicit is the opposite of the desired choice. Lenient means "permissive," while static means "constant." Neither of those choices is correct, either.
