PSAT Reading Question 583: Answer and Explanation

Question: 583

Which option gives the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?

• A. Lines 8–11 ("Some people . . . Amazon.com")
• B. Lines 18–21 ("Major . . . procurement")
• C. Lines 62–67 ("Each time . . . sojourn")
• D. Lines 72–75 ("Billions . . . behold")

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

(D) See the explanation to question 15. Lines 72–75 state, "Billions of dollars have been invested in these types of service industries and the activity behind the scenes is something to behold." Something to behold is something that is interesting, perhaps even fascinating, to witness. This then best aligns with a "positive" opinion of the subject matter.
