PSAT Writing and Language Question 546: Answer and Explanation
Question: 546
- A. NO CHANGE
- B. In other words,
- C. In contrast,
- D. Because of this,
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
(B) Notice that choices (A) and (D) convey the exact same meaning. As there can be only one correct answer, eliminate those two (the relationship is not causal). Choice (C) declares a contrast, but this sentence does not contrast with the previous one. What actually happens is that the second sentence restates the first sentence in a more explanatory fashion. "In other words" is the correct answer.
