PSAT Writing and Language Question 701: Answer and Explanation

Question: 701

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. involve floating molted glass with a bath of molted tin.
• C. involves floated molted glass on a bath of molted tin.
• D. involves floating molten glass on a bath of molten tin.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

(D) "Technique" is a singular subject, so the verb should be "involves." Choice (D) also uses the correct forms of "floating" and "molten" to describe the glass—"molted" does not work as a word in this context. Choices (A) and (B) have plural verbs, and choice (C) uses "molted" instead of "molten."
