Wednesday PSAT Writing Question 39

<p>What was the answer to this one?</p>

<p>Which of the following would best follow sentence 11?
A. The corporate world is vicious, and, as in the jungle, only the fittest survive.
B. Female Presidents of companies usually have a lot of influence
C. Women are just as capable as men, even if there are still some doubts in the corporate world.
D. Remaining in an inhospitable environment is risky but may help other women in the company
E. Most people agree that women are just as capable as men</p>

<p>C is the correct answer</p>

<p>darn... i had marked C but then erased it and changed it to D</p>

<p>the ironic thing is that D is correct. and so you actually got it right contrary to the other people.</p>

<p>every single person I've talked to (about 10 ppl) all said it was C</p>

<p>its definately c</p>

<p>The answer is C because D is a very poor way of concluding an essay. The final sentence should summarize the main idea of the passage, which C does perfectly.</p>

<p>I think D is the answer.</p>

<p>I think C was the trick answer because the essays focus was not that women were just as capable as men but instead that women are being discriminated in the workplace. So basically C was just an assumption that sounded right and was used to trick people.</p>

<p>The point made by D (helping other women in the company) was only discussed in sentence 11, and nowhere else in the passage. And as I stated previously, C provides the much better conclusion. If you read some strong essays, you'll get the feeling of how to end an essay; it's not something I can describe easily here.</p>

<p>lol can I get a conclusive, 100% answer?
My semifinalist status lies on this one question........</p>

<p>the reason the answer is D is because that paragraph was not the conclusion. the passage was talking about the different methods that women employ to avoid discrimination like starting their own companies. the paragraph then talked about how some women chose to stay in the the company to solve the problem within even though they face opposition. so D makes sense since it is saying that D. Remaining in an inhospitable environment is risky but may help other women in the company</p>

<p>C is the correct answer. Its obvious eventhough i did not take the Wednesday PSAT. D makes no sense</p>

<p>i think it is C.</p>

<p>Wait. You won't get anything for this question... your answer is already submitted. Just let time go... even if you get it wrong or right just dont worry..</p>

<p>sorry guys who that it was C, but it was D</p>

<p>I don’t remember the question itself specifically saying “to conclude this essay” so I put down D.</p>

<p>uhhr…this was from 4 years ago…</p>

<p>Please stop bumping old threads :frowning:
This scared the ** out of me when I read it without looking at the date.</p>

<p>Looks like the exact same question though… and I think I put C.</p>

<p>^ What are you talking about? This question/paragraph wasn’t on our test.</p>
