Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 222: Answer and Explanation
Question: 222
Folklorists-regardless of their focus within the wide, interdisciplinary field of folklore-often use a similar approach and methodology, called ethnographic fieldwork. This means the folklorist's job is not confined to a desk, a university, or a museum; instead, _____________________ often in exciting, real-world settings in the expressive realms of festival, narrative, faith, art, architecture, and food, among others.
Which choice most logically completes the text?
- A. the work is participatory and engaging,
- B. the occupation is dull and monotonous,
- C. the field is abstract and complex,
- D. the career is highly compensated,
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
(A) The sentence states that a folklorist's job is not confined to an academic setting of a university or desk, but is instead highly involved in exciting real-world settings. Therefore, calling the work participatory and engaging would emphasize the interesting settings in which the field takes place. It is not (B), because the field is described in a more positive way. It is not (C), because the field is described as being more hands-on instead of abstract. It is not (D), because there is no mention of the pay for folklorists.
