PSAT Writing and Language Question 476: Answer and Explanation

Question: 476

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. wisdom
• C. statistics
• D. understanding

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

(D) In essence, the sentence is stating that we have little knowledge of modern agriculture. "Understanding" is the most apt synonym for "knowledge." "Wisdom" is similar to "knowledge," but it typically implies good decision making. As the old saying goes, "Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad."
