Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 77: Answer and Explanation

Question: 77

In science class, the two friends frantically mixed their chemical solutions together. They had failed to meet over the weekend and their assignment was nowhere close to being finished. When they received a failing grade, the teacher remarked that the __________ to their problem would come from adequate preparation.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

  • A. resolution
  • B. mixture
  • C. choice
  • D. origin

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

(A) You can put your own synonym in here pretty easily. An "answer" or resolution to a problem is the intended meaning, so (A) works best. (B) refers to the first usage of solution, a mixture of liquids. (C) denotes an "option." (D) inaccurately signifies that the teacher is referencing the cause-a lack of preparation-rather than the solution, adequate preparation.
