PSAT Reading Question 376: Answer and Explanation

Question: 376

It can reasonably be inferred that the author believes the "Eye of Providence" is widely misinterpreted on account of the presence of what other symbol on the Great Seal?

• A. The eagle
• B. The triangle of the Holy Trinity
• C. The unfinished pyramid
• D. The Star of David

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

(C) Lines 45–48 explain that the suggestion that the Eye on the Great Seal refers to an Egyptian deity is based on the unfinished pyramid underneath the Great Seal. The other symbols, although present on the Great Seal, do not contribute to the misinterpretation of the Eye.
