PSAT Reading Question 630: Answer and Explanation

Question: 630

President Kennedy suggests that the people of East and West Berlin are most likely interested in which of the following?

• A. Initial interaction
• B. Visiting military allies
• C. Reunification
• D. Emulating ancient empires

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

(C) Lines 49–54 provide evidence to support this idea, focusing on how families have been divided because of the division of the city and that the people wish to be joined together again. Choice (A) is incorrect because the people of these cities have already had initial interactions since many of them are family. Choice (B) is incorrect because the people want to visit family, not military allies. Choice (D) is incorrect because there is no evidence to support that they wish to be like an ancient empire.
