PSAT Writing and Language Question 585: Answer and Explanation

Question: 585

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. Us
• C. That
• D. This

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

(A) For one, notice that "we" is used throughout the sentence. That's indicative of the need to remain in first person plural, so eliminate choices (C) and (D). Now ask, Is it better to say "we understood" or "us understood"? "We," of course, is the proper pronoun. Choice (A) is correct.
