Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 98: Answer and Explanation

Question: 98

When sweating or swimming, sunscreen products can be easily washed away. ___________ a new application will not set the timer to zero: only time out of the sun will do that. What this means is that frequent applications (at least every two hours) and breaks from the sun are important.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

  • A. Subsequently,
  • B. Meanwhile,
  • C. To that end,
  • D. In addition,

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

(D) This sentence provides an additional explanation that helps the reader understand how sunscreen is not a perfect solution in and of itself-responsible behavior, like taking breaks from the sun, is essential to sun safety. It is not Choice (A) because this is not a subsequent, or next, event. It is not Choice (B) because the previous and current sentences do not contrast with one another. And it is not Choice (C) because the current sentence is not simply elaborating on the previous sentence but providing a new point.
