Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 146: Answer and Explanation
Question: 146
Even with Athena-the very core of the Parthenon-missing, the temple ________ still served as a great, inclusive museum of Greek history, tracing the founding of ancient Greece, Athenian democracy, and early western civilization; yet, the Parthenon would endure many other foes.
Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
- A. could of
- B. might of
- C. could have
- D. should have been
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
(C) Could've sounds like could of, but it is short for could have. The use of the word of in this context is therefore incorrect, making choices (A) and (B) wrong. Choice (C) correctly expresses the verb have. Choice (D) makes the sentence should have been still served, which is nonsensical.
