PSAT Writing and Language Question 94: Answer and Explanation

Question: 94

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. one
• C. city authorities
• D. some

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C

Pronouns and nouns change in the answer choices, so this question tests precision. A pronoun can only be used if it is clear what the pronoun refers to. There is no noun in the sentence that indicates who tried to impose, so a pronoun cannot be used; eliminate (A), (B), and (D). Only (C) clearly states who tried to impose. The correct answer is (C).
