Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 21: Answer and Explanation

Question: 21

The author's rebuttal to such concerns is ________. First, he uses tongue-in-cheek humor to brush off such concerns, by assuring his parents that he will not end up homeless. Second, and more effectively, he uses facts to the contrary.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word?

  • A. complex
  • B. understated
  • C. lacking
  • D. twofold

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

(D) The sentence goes on to state two things about what describes the rebuttal, making two-fold the most logical word. The response has just two aspects, making complex too extreme. It is not understated, because the author is very direct and vocal with his arguments. It is not lacking, because the text speaks of the author's rebuttal in positive terms.
