PSAT Writing and Language Question 85: Answer and Explanation

Question: 85

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. rolls out
• C. unrolls
• D. roles out

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

B

Vocabulary changes in the answer choices, so this question tests the precision of word choice. Look for a word or phrase with a definition that is consistent with the other ideas in the sentence. The sentence discusses a company "launching" a new advertising campaign, so the correct word or phrase should mean "launches." Eliminate (A) because unfurls means "unroll" and is used for a physical object such as a piece of cloth. Keep (B) because rolls out means "launches" and need not refer to a physical object. Eliminate (C) because unrolls is similar to unfurls and is not consistent with "launches." Eliminate (D) because roles refers to "position" and is not consistent with "launches." The correct answer is (B).
