PSAT Reading Question 599: Answer and Explanation
Question: 599
As used in line 22, "suitable" most closely means
- A. historical.
- B. memorable.
- C. applicable.
- D. delightful.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
(C) When handling questions of vocabulary, insert the options into the sentence to determine which is most sensible in context. "Applicable" is the most logical option since "suitable" means "appropriate" or "apt" in this instance. "Historical," "memorable," and "delightful" all create sentences with different meanings.
