College Board, SAT, and the acorn logo are registered trademarks of College Board.  \nReading and Writing  \nModule 1  \n(33 questions)  \nQUESTION 1  \nChoice C is the best answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion of novelist Leon Forrest’s admiration of William Faulkner’s writing style. In this context,“imitation” means something that resembles or reproduces something else. The text states that Forrest admired Faulkner’s style and that anyone familiar with Faulkner’s style would be able to see the stylistic similarities between a particular passage in Forrest’s novel Divine Days and Faulkner’s writing, a fact that supports the idea that Forrest’s novel pays tribute to Faulkner by reproducing, or imitating, Faulkner’s style.  \nChoice A is incorrect because in this context, a “forgetting” would mean an instance in which something is overlooked or not remembered. The text emphasizes Forrest’s admiration for Faulkner’s style and the fact that Forrest’s writing in some instances closely resembles Faulkner’s stylistically. It therefore wouldn’t make sense to say that in trying to pay tribute to Faulkner’s style, Forrest failed to remember it. Choice B is incorrect because in this context, a “rejection”would mean a dismissal of something as unworthy. The text emphasizes Forrest’s admiration for Faulkner’s writing style, stating that parts of Forrest’s writings indicate efforts to copy that style. It wouldn’t make sense therefore to suggest that Forrest had rejected or dismissed Faulkner’s style as unworthy. Choice D is incorrect because in this context, an “opinion” would mean a view or judgment. Although the text focuses on Forrest’s admiration of Faulkner, which suggests that Forrest had formed a positive judgment of Faulkner’s style, the word opinion wouldn’t make sense in this sentence: the sentence doesn’t say that the passage from Forrest’s novel expresses his view of Faulkner’s style; rather, it suggests that stylistically, the passage closely resembles, or imitates, Faulkner’s writing.  \n2 PSAT 10 PRACTICE TEST \\#2 ANSWER EXPLANATIONS  \nQUESTION 2  \nChoice A is the best answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion of programs that encourage money to cycle within a community. In this context,“instituting” means initiating. The text indicates that making purchasesat small local businesses can help keep money cycling within a community. The text goes on to state that some cities are establishing incentives to promote small business shopping. This context supports the idea that some cities are instituting programs to encourage this consumer behavior.  \nChoice B is incorrect because saying that some cities are “occupying,” or forcibly holding possession or control of, programs that encourage shoppers to make purchases at small local businesses wouldn’t make sense in context. The text doesn’t discuss who controls these programs but instead indicates that some cities are establishing incentives that encourage shoppers to make purchasesat small local businesses. Furthermore, it wouldn’t make sense to say that a city is occupying a program. Choice C is incorrect because nothing in the text suggests that cities are “underestimating,” or failing to understand the value  \nof, programs that encourage consumers to shop at small local businesses. The text indicates that some cities are establishing incentives to encourage small business shopping, which suggests that these cities understand the value of such programs. Choice D is incorrect because saying that some cities are“encountering,” or coming into contact with, programs that encourage consumers to shop at small local businesses wouldn’t make sense in context. The text indicates that some cities are already establishing incentives to encourage shoppers to make purchases at smal","cbCaiqbiqKBeU4hm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqbiqKBeU4hm","pdf",868973,49,"English","# Reading and Writing\n## Module 1 - Question 1\n## Module 1 - Question 2\n## Module 1 - Question 3","[{\"question\":\"What does “imitation” mean in Question 1’s context?\",\"answer\":\"“Imitation” means resembling or reproducing something else.
