Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 126: Answer and Explanation

Question: 126

For ten months while I was in high school, I lived with a host family in Germany. I attended tenth grade in a German upper school, traveled through northern Europe and, truth be told, learned a bit of German. ___________ a German student traveling to the U.S., staying with a host family, and attending school for the same amount of time seems to learn significantly more English.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

  • A. Therefore,
  • B. However,
  • C. Additionally,
  • D. As a result,

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

(B) For transition questions, diagnose the relationship between this sentence and the preceding one. The author is arguing that, even though she learned some German, she didn't learn as much of the native language as a German student would learn of English in the United States. That even though is important, as it denotes a contrast between the two sentences. However is the only contrasting choice.
