Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 131: Answer and Explanation
Question: 131
Regrettably, because of the second scribe's large and unwieldy penmanship, the poem's last ten lines or so would not fit on the parchment leaf and are thus lost to history. We are instead left with the compellingly _________ ending (roughly translated): "The white wood rang / Grimly as they hacked each other's shields / Until the linden slats grew lean and splintered / Broken by blades . . ."
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
- A. conclusive
- B. shocking
- C. ecstatic
- D. ambiguous
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
(D) The transliterated text presented in the text shows that there is not a clear ending to the story, making ambiguous the best option. The other choices would all indicate much more decisive outcomes.
