Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 75: Answer and Explanation
Question: 75
This cycle was broken by the unification of five Iroquois tribes in The Confederacy of Peace and Power. The confederacy was born from a Huron woman who had a dream that her son would be a prophet. She named him Deganawidah, or "the prophet." He preached to his people, but his words fell on deaf ears. Consequently, he left the Huron and traveled through the Iroquois spreading his message of peace. Within the Iroquois he collected many followers, including Hiawatha.
As used in the text, what does the word collected most nearly mean?
- A. Placated
- B. Composed
- C. Catalogued
- D. Gathered
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
(D) On the vocabulary questions, the wisest strategy is to insert each of the options into the text to determine the best choice in context. "Within the Iroquois, he gathered many followers" is the most sensible possibility, as seen in choice (D), since he is creating a group of people who follow him.
