PSAT Writing and Language Question 558: Answer and Explanation

Question: 558

  • A. NO CHANGE
  • B. revenging
  • C. vengeance
  • D. avenge

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

(D) We must work with the "to" already provided at the beginning of the sentence. This demonstrates that we need an infinitive verb. "Venge" is an archaic verb that was abandoned centuries ago. "Vengeance" is a noun, not a verb. "Revenging" would not work with the preceding "to" to create an infinitive.
