PSAT Writing and Language Question 724: Answer and Explanation
Question: 724
- A. NO CHANGE
- B. poetic; Hildebrand a
- C. poetic; Hildebrand, a
- D. poetic Hildebrand, a
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
(C) The semicolon is a softer linkage between two complete ideas than is a period. The idea after the semicolon clarifies why the "Lay" is potentially as interesting as and more poetic than Beowulf. The comma sets off a clarifying phrase. Choices (A) and (D) lead to run-on sentences, and choice (B) lacks a comma.
