Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 283: Answer and Explanation
Question: 283
I don't think anyone would call me a world traveler. I have only been overseas twice. Everywhere I have traveled there _________ a trend—the ever-present difficulty of learning the new language.
Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
- A. has been
- B. have been
- C. will have been
- D. be
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A. The subject and verb must agree. In this case, the subject is “trend,” which is a singular noun that will require a corresponding verb. Eliminate Choices B and D for being plural verbs. Choice C incorrectly uses future perfect tense, whereas present is the desired tense. “There has been a trend” is the best answer.
