PSAT Reading Question 343: Answer and Explanation

Question: 343

As used in line 28, "celebrated" most nearly means

• A. observed.
• B. admired.
• C. performed.
• D. solemnized.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

(B) "Celebrated" as it is used in line 28 describes a book in a way that indicates it is widely admired. A book cannot very well be "observed" or "performed." Also "solemnizes" means performed a formal ceremony of some kind, which would be illogical as a definition here.
