PSAT Writing and Language Question 672: Answer and Explanation

Question: 672

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. As a result,
• C. Due to this,
• D. Continuing,

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

(A) It really is best to read this sentence along with the previous two sentences. This sentence contrasts with the previous idea of the paragraph that "birth order isn't a one-size-fits-all theory." Essentially this sentence says: That may be true, but it is still useful. The best substitute for but is "nevertheless." The other three choices fail to provide the contrasting relationship that the sentence requires.
