PSAT Writing and Language Question 601: Answer and Explanation
Question: 601
The writer is considering deleting the underlined sentence. Should the sentence be kept or deleted?
- A. Kept, because it gives the first mention of the educational qualifications to become an occupational therapist.
- B. Kept, because it further elaborates on the educational possibilities for occupational therapists.
- C. Deleted, because it repeats information stated elsewhere in the passage.
- D. Deleted, because it contradicts information found later in the paragraph.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
(B) The previous sentence discusses some of the educational degree possibilities for occupational therapists, and the underlined sentence continues that focus. The underlined sentence is not redundant. It provides information that is helpful in understanding the full range of educational options for occupational therapists. So the underlined sentence should be left as is.
