PSAT Reading Question 450: Answer and Explanation

Question: 450

Douglass suggests that he met his father at what point in time?

• A. As an infant
• B. As a young child
• C. As an adult
• D. At no point

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

(D) Douglass is unsure of who his father is, so choice (D) is correct. Although Douglass admits that a rumor spread that his master was his father, the rumor was never confirmed. So Douglass does not suggest that he actually met his father. Since this information is completely withheld from him, we cannot assume choices (A), (B), or (C).
