PSAT Writing and Language Question 652: Answer and Explanation

Question: 652

  • A. NO CHANGE
  • B. and since
  • C. for a result
  • D. and

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

(A) In this sentence, there is a pattern of, essentially, not for this reason, but for that reason. That "but" is necessary because it demonstrates the contrasting relationship that is apparent. "And since," "and," and "for a result" fail to capture that pattern of not for this, but for that.
