PSAT Writing and Language Question 588: Answer and Explanation

Question: 588

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. fielding.
• C. out in the field.
• D. with a field.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

(C) There are certain phrases that the test writers assume are widely known. "Out in the field" is one of those. The meaning isn't that one is literally in a body of grass but, rather, that one is in a professional environment—i.e., the field of business management in this case. Choices (A), (B), and (D) simply do not suit the required purpose as choice (C) does.
