PSAT Writing and Language Question 57: Answer and Explanation

Question: 57

Which of the following true choices provides the information most consistent with the rest of the sentence?

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. so that would be around 1924,
• C. two decades into the twentieth century,
• D. when the G.I. Bill hadn't been written yet,

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

A

Note the question! The question asks for information most consistent with the rest of the sentence, so it's testing consistency of ideas. Since the sentence starts with More than twenty years earlier and the previous sentence gives the year as 1944, the information in (B) and (C) is redundant, so eliminate (B) and (C). The rest of the sentence discusses the veterans of the bloodiest war on record, so the correct answer will be consistent with this idea. The conclusion of World War I is consistent, so keep (A). The G.I. Bill is not consistent, so eliminate (D). The correct answer is (A).
