PSAT Writing and Language Question 395: Answer and Explanation

Question: 395

Which choice best concludes the sentence with a logical explanation?

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. Who has the money to see a movie in a crowded theater when you can enjoy it much more comfortably at home?
• C. Both movies and books have plot lines, character development, and metaphorical imagery.
• D. Nobody enjoys a movie when it is interrupted by delinquents who talk and text through its entirety.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

(A) The paragraph as a whole states that the narrator became progressively less interested in reading as it became something she was required to do, instead of something she chose to do. Choice (A) makes sense in this context because it provides an analogy that shows how being forced to watch a movie for school makes the experience much less enjoyable. Choices (B), (C), and (D) are somewhat connected to the sentence but are not relevant to the paragraph.
