Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 261: Answer and Explanation

Question: 261

Birth order isn't a one-size-fits-all theory; there are many loopholes and exceptions. People can change, if they want to, through hard work. ____________ it can be helpful to understand the factors that influence personalities, and birth order helps a little.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

  • A. Nevertheless,
  • B. As a result,
  • C. Due to this,
  • D. Continuing,

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

A. It really is best to read this sentence along with the previous two sentences. This sentence contrasts with the previous idea of the paragraph that “birth order isn't a one-size-fits-all theory.” Essentially, this sentence says, That may be true, but it is still useful. The best substitute for but is “nevertheless.” The other three choices fail to provide the contrasting relationship that the sentence requires.
