Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 232: Answer and Explanation

Question: 232

Schrödinger won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933 for his work in quantum mechanics, ______ he is most remembered for a theoretical experiment he proposed two years later.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

  • A. but
  • B. for
  • C. since
  • D. and

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

(A) To determine the correct conjunction to use, analyze the relationship between the two clauses. Here, the second clause contrasts with the first. Essentially, although Schrödinger won the Nobel Prize, he is more famous for something else. "Although," like "but," is a contrasting term. Choice (A) is the correct answer. Choices (B) and (C) emphasize a causal relationship. Choice (D) is not contrasting but, rather, conjoining.
