Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 52: Answer and Explanation

Question: 52

Perhaps nowhere are timeless marital troubles better illustrated than in the second narrative of the suite, "The Clerk's Tale." ________________ we find the greatest power imbalance of any of Chaucer's unhappy couples.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

  • A. In the story of "The Clerk's Tale,"
  • B. In this medieval narrative found in The Canterbury Tales,
  • C. Here
  • D. Therefore

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

(C) There is no need to repeat the name of the story, as choice (A) does, since it is mentioned immediately before this sentence. Choice (B) is not correct because it is wordy and adds no substance to the sentence. Choice (D) is incorrect because the current sentence is simply expanding on the previous one, not showing cause and effect.
