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 the flashes created by fireflies. In this context,“patterns” means distinct and predictable sequences. The text indicates that although the flashes that fireflies produce appear to occur randomly—that is, without any particular sequence or rhythm—each species actually produces its own special series of flashes and pauses. Indeed, these series of flashes are so unique that fireflies can use them to find other members of their species. Therefore, this context supports the idea that fireflies produce flashes in distinct and recognizable patterns.  \nChoice A is incorrect because “quantities” means certain amounts or numbers of something. Although the text discusses how different firefly species produce flashes and pauses in unique sequences that help other members of their species to find them, it doesn’t mention the number of flashes that are used in these sequences. Choice B is incorrect because in this context,“decorations” would mean things that make an object more beautiful. Although it may be reasonable to say that firefly flashes are beautiful, the text focuses on the fact that fireflies use these unique sequences of flashes to find other members of their own species, not that the flashes make fireflies more beautiful. Choice D is incorrect because in this context,“agreements” would refer to deals that individuals have discussed and come to a consensus about. Since fireflies aren’t capable of making such agreements, it wouldn’t make sense to use this word to refer to the signals they send each other with their flashes.  \n2 PSAT 8/9 PRACTICE TEST \\#1 ANSWER EXPLANATIONS  \nQUESTION 2  \nChoice C is the best answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion of Helen Liu Fong’s architectural designs. In this context,“traditional”means conventional. The text states that rather than use “standard shapes and colors,” Fong pursued “innovative” and “daring” design choices in her work.  \nFong’s style is depicted as inventive, so it therefore makes sense in this context that she avoided mainstream, traditional designs in her buildings.  \nChoice A is incorrect because the text indicates that Fong’s work is innovative and experimental. Thus, Fong’s design choices could reasonably be considered creative, or original. She likely would have pursued creative designs, not avoided them. Choice B is incorrect because the text indicates that Fong used “daring”  \nhues in her designs. Thus, Fong likely would have pursued bold, or brave and vivid design choices; she wouldn’t have avoided them. Choice D is incorrect because the text doesn’t address whether Fong’s designs are understandable, or reasonable or expected. The text focuses on certain characteristics of Fong’s designs, not on how people received or understood them.  \nQUESTION 3  \nChoice B is the best answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion of the cover art of Virginia Woolf’s novels. In this context,“partnership”means collaboration or joint effort. The text states that Woolf’s sister Vanessa Bell was a talented painter and that Bell worked with Woolf to provide the cover art formost of Woolf’s novels. Thus, this context suggests that Woolf and Bell pursued a creative partnership in order to produce several of Woolf’s novels.  \nChoice A is incorrect because there is no indication that Woolf or Bell were undergoing a “rebellion,” or revolt, against anything in particular. Instead, the text focuses on how they worked together in some aspects of the production of Woolf’s novels. Choice C is incorrect because there is nothing in the text to indicate tha","cbCaibs24eihDbNB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibs24eihDbNB","pdf",533368,48,"English","# Reading and Writing\n## Module 1 (33 questions)\n### Question 1\n### Question 2\n### Question 3\n### Question 4","[{\"question\":\"Are these answer explanations written for the digital or nondigital PSAT 8/9?\",\"answer\":\"They are for students taking the digital PSAT 8/9 in a nondigital format, with explanations for the answer choices used on the test.\"},{\"question\":\"What section and module are included in this practice test answers document?\",\"answer\":\"It includes Reading and Writing, Module 1, covering 33 questions.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the explanations help students choose the correct answer?\",\"answer\":\"Each explanation identifies the best choice by tying it to specific details in the passage and defining important words as used in context, while also explaining why the other choices are not supported.\"}]","PSAT 8/9 Practice Test #1 - Answer Explanations | PDF",121]
