Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 121: Answer and Explanation
Question: 121
The tough competition and demanding prerequisites for the job market need not be deterrents. Leading journalism ___________ students leave undergraduate programs with all the tools necessary for success.
Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
- A. department's are reassuring that their
- B. departments' are insuring that they're
- C. departments are assuring there
- D. departments are ensuring that their
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
(D) This choice correctly does not have an apostrophe after departments because this word is functioning as the subject, not as a possessive adjective. Choices (A) and (B) incorrectly have apostrophes after departments. Choice (D) is correct also because ensuring means to "make sure," which fits the context. Assure means to "reassure," and insure has to do with financial transactions.
