PSAT Reading Question 608: Answer and Explanation

Question: 608

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

• A. Lines 5–9 ("Newtonian . . . Greeks")
• B. Lines 30–33 ("As years . . . years")
• C. Lines 48–52 ("The recent . . . community")
• D. Lines 65–68 ("From String . . . 2015")

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

(D) See the explanation to question 40. That "multiple universes" (in all their unfathomable enormity) can come from the vibrations of "tiny strings" is certainly something counterintuitive. Choices (A), (B), and (C) all refer to ideas that are not consistent with something counterintuitive.
