Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 65: Answer and Explanation

Question: 65

Faulkner first introduces Sarty at his father's trial where he is accused of burning a local farm. It is through Sarty's inner toil ______ the reader becomes distinctly aware of Abner's guilt.

Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

  • A. which
  • B. from
  • C. for
  • D. that

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

(D) That works because it begins an essential phrase in the sentence that cannot be set aside with commas, as would be the case with which. The answer is neither choice (B) nor (C) because it is incorrect to say through . . . from or through . . . for in a sentence like this.
