PSAT Reading Practice Question 238
Question: 238
The theater was packed. The audience
watched with rapt attention as the
characters lost their homes, their jobs,
their sense of security, even their most
05basic beliefs. A few characters managed
to save a family member. Most kept small
keepsakes in their pockets. But by the
end, they had almost nothing left of the
world before disaster struck. When the
10show was over, the audience filed out
smiling. After all, there's nothing
more fun than the end of the world—as
long as it's fictional.
