PSAT Writing and Language Question 324: Answer and Explanation

Question: 324

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. in comparison to
• C. as comparing to
• D. as a comparison to

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Prepositions are changing in the answer choices, so this question is testing idioms. Look at the phrase before the preposition to determine the correct idiom. Use POE, and guess if there is more than one answer left. The sentence draws a comparison between two things: a landscape painting and high-definition photos. The correct idiom when comparing two items is in comparison to (compared to could work as well, but it's not an option here). Eliminate (A), (C), and (D). The correct answer is (B).
