PSAT Writing and Language Question 50: Answer and Explanation

Question: 50

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. we
• C. veterinarians
• D. all of them

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C

The pronouns and nouns are changing in the answer choices, so the question is testing precision. Determine the subject of the pronoun, and choose an answer that makes the meaning consistent and precise. The subject of are required to perform more and more procedures should be the veterinarians, but that isn't clearly implied by a pronoun such as they or them. Since the veterinarians are not mentioned in the sentence, the noun veterinarians must be used to precisely state the correct subject. The correct answer is (C).
