PSAT Writing and Language Question 679: Answer and Explanation
Question: 679
- A. NO CHANGE
- B. effects
- C. affects
- D. affect
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
(D) After the verb "can," an infinitive verb is required. Eliminate choices (B) and (C) because they are conjugated verbs. "Effect" is rarely used as a verb, but when it is, it means to bring about. "Affect" means "to influence." The sentence is much more logical with influence, so "affect" is the correct answer.
