Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 18: Answer and Explanation

Question: 18

As a compassionate and passionate educator, I know the competition your child faces. I am interested in breaking down the barriers that intimidate students and providing the path that will get them better college offers, better careers, and most significantly, a better quality of life. To do this, I adopt a perspective of peak preparation at all costs.

The text most strongly implies that the author places a premium on

  • A. physical exertion.
  • B. intellectual contemplation.
  • C. rigorous expectations.
  • D. logical reasoning.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

(C) The text conveys the author's priority to prepare students for the challenges ahead "at all costs." So, we can assume that the author places an emphasis on (C), rigorous expectations. There is no evidence that the author values physical exertion as in (A). Choice (B) more closely resembles what the author of Passage 1 might stress. Finally, (D) usually refers to a process by which one supports and gives logical evidence for an argument or position.
