PSAT Writing and Language Question 653: Answer and Explanation

Question: 653

  • A. NO CHANGE
  • B. despite public outcries,
  • C. even though there were complaints by members of the public,
  • D. OMIT the underlined portion.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

(B) Choices (A), (B), and (C) all communicate the same message, but notice that choice (B) does it much more concisely without sacrificing meaning. Choice (D), "omit," leads to a grammatically correct sentence, but it ultimately deletes information that is relevant and productive.
