PSAT Writing and Language Question 74: Answer and Explanation

Question: 74

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. migrate to with the seasons.
• C. be enjoyed by all.
• D. continue to thrive.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D

The phrases are changing in the answer choices, so the question is testing consistency of ideas. The previous sentences discuss how homes and factories replaced the beaver habitat. The answer will be consistent with the idea that wildlife no longer has a home there. Eliminate (B) and (C) because they are not consistent. Both (A) and (D) are consistent in meaning. However, (D) uses more precise language and is more concise. Eliminate (A). The correct answer is (D).
