Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 183: Answer and Explanation
Question: 183
Into the early twentieth century, color cameras themselves remained somewhat __________; this owed largely to the logistical complexities of exposing three separate individually filtered plates on the same subject. One design used a system of prisms and mirrors to split the lens image through three internal filters, which in turn exposed three plates simultaneously.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
- A. unsightly
- B. unwieldy
- C. expensive
- D. precise
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
(B) The color cameras are described as being cumbersome and challenging to use, which aligns with unwieldy. While the cameras were larger than ones used today, the text does not support calling them unsightly or ugly. No mention is directly made of their expense. Also, since the cameras were less advanced than ones used today, it is highly unlikely that they would be precise.
