Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 13: Answer and Explanation
Question: 13
Forbes: How Important Is it That Americans Learn a Second Language?
Most Americans agree on the importance of language education-approximately _____ of white, Black and Hispanic Americans believe that learning another language is important or essential.
Which choice most effectively uses data from the chart to complete the example?
- A. 20 percent
- B. 50 percent
- C. 70 percent
- D. 100 percent
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
(C) Analyze the accompanying graph for this question. The best way to determine the percentage of those who feel it is essential or important is to determine the percentage of people who do not feel that it is important, and then subtract this percentage from 100. Analyzing the graph, 30 percent of white people do not feel that it is important, whereas the percentages of Blacks and Hispanics who do not feel it is important are roughly 20 percent and 15 percent, respectively. Theoretically, the mathematics could become a little complicated because there are more whites than Blacks or Hispanics, but the percentage of people who do feel that is important must be somewhere between 70 percent and 85 percent; only choice (C) falls in this range.
