PSAT Writing and Language Question 615: Answer and Explanation

Question: 615

  • A. NO CHANGE
  • B. mills' grounds—it was still
  • C. mill's grounds, it was still
  • D. mill's grounds; it was still

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

(D) The mill is singular, and it possesses the grounds. Also, the two complete sentences need clear separation, which the semicolon, but not a comma, can provide. Choice (A) provides no possession, choice (B) is correct for plural mills, and choice (C) causes a comma splice.
