PSAT Writing and Language Question 107: Answer and Explanation

Question: 107

If the punctuation were to be adjusted accordingly, the best placement for the underlined portion would be

• A. where it is now.
• B. after the word year.
• C. after the word dream.
• D. after the word copies.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C

Note the question! The question asks for the best placement for the underlined portion, so it tests precision. The phrase all the way to New York City should come after the phrase it describes. Eliminate (A), (B), and (D) because the placement of all the way to New York City after sold, year, and copies does not make sense. Keep (C) because chased his dream all the way to New York City provides a precise meaning. The correct answer is (C).
