Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 238: Answer and Explanation
Question: 238
Employing slightly subtler brushstrokes than most of his counterparts, the artist focused his labors on capturing the tranquil, shore-side recreations of bourgeois vacationers. Around this time, it was becoming "fashionable" among the middle class to possess commemorative depictions of the places one had traveled, and he managed to fill this niche masterfully.
As used in the text, what does the word fashionable most nearly mean?
- A. Tailored
- B. Popular
- C. Leisurely
- D. Economical
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B. "Fashionable" refers to the popularity of travelers placing paintings of their travel destinations in their homes. “Tailored” implies a level of customization that is not present in these works, “leisurely” refers more to the scenes of the paintings, and “economical” could apply to the practice of saving money by using more general scenes than customized ones; but the focus in these lines is on the increased interest in this practice.
