PSAT Writing and Language Question 589: Answer and Explanation

Question: 589

Which of the following provides the most logical and relevant conclusion to the paragraph?

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. Significant wealth will inevitably follow.
• C. Be sure you incorporate thorough analysis before you decide on your course of action.
• D. Remember these words of advice when you go back to school.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

(A) Choice (D) can be immediately deleted as the professor is referring to after leaving school rather than returning to it. Choice (B) is somewhat relevant but is not a logical, effective conclusion to the argument. Choice (C) is relevant, but it isn't effective; it lacks the attention-getting quality of choice (A), which essentially says, You've taken all these courses to be a better manager. But the true value comes down to one simple question: can you take calculated risk? Choice (A), then, is by far the best answer.
