PSAT Reading Question 348: Answer and Explanation

Question: 348

As used in line 9, "form" most nearly means

• A. design.
• B. variety.
• C. dream.
• D. classification.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

(A) The sentence mentions the ingenuity of the industrial era in creating the Eiffel Tower, something that has an unmistakable form, or "design." There is no "variety" of Eiffel Tower, just one. There is no "dream" of the tower since it actually exists. The "classification" of the tower is not unmistakable but, rather, the way it looks.
