PSAT Writing and Language Practice Question 420
Question: 420
Picking a good birthday present for my friend Sarah is nearly impossible. 1 Irregardless of what I buy her—be it new clothing, electronics, or even concert tickets—she never seems satisfied. Perhaps this is because Sarah is the girl 2 whom has nearly everything already. She makes enough money from her job such that if 3 there is an item she really wants, she will simply 4 buy them for herself. Even a gift card causes a hostile reaction from her—"why did you get 5 her something that I can only use at one store?"
In the gift exchange this year, I could get Sarah, Bethany, or my Mother, but I 6 was worried I could have 7 her. Purchasing a present for Bethany is far easier 8 than Sarah.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
(C) The sentence in quotation marks is from the first person point of view, making a reference to the speaker logical. So, "me" is appropriate in referring back to the speaker. The other options all do not refer to the speaker in the first person.
