PSAT Reading Question 347: Answer and Explanation

Question: 347

As used in line 5, "engage" most nearly means

• A. pledge.
• B. fight with.
• C. interact with.
• D. create.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

(C) The passage in which "engage" occurs describes citizens coming across public art on a daily basis, making it much more likely that they would "interact with" it in some way. They are not pledging to it or fighting with it, making choice (A) and choice (B) incorrect. They are also not creating it, unless they themselves are the artists, making choice (D) incorrect.
