In the text, the speaker describes summertime in counterintuitive terms: although nature’s “surging life is at its full” during the season, the speaker feels summer tobe “a time of pause, / A void and silent space between two worlds.” The speaker says further that during summer,“feeling sleeps / Gathering strength” for future efforts. Thus, the speaker regards summer as an empty stretch of time, to be followed by a period of greater activity.  \nChoice A is incorrect. Although the text does present summer as a time of inactivity, it doesn’t characterize that inactivity as useless, or as having no purpose; in fact, the speaker regards summer as a time when “feeling” gathers“strength for efforts yet to come.” Choice C is incorrect. Although the text characterizes summer as a time “when inspiration lags, and feeling sleeps,” it doesn’t discuss the season’s relationship to the speaker’s memory or suggest that summer can easily be forgotten. Choice D is incorrect. In some contexts,“void” can mean devoid of, or lacking, a particular element, and such a lack could be conceived of as incompleteness. However, the text doesn’t portray summer as not being complete or whole; instead, it characterizes vacancy or inactivity as being an essential quality of the season, as experienced by the speaker.  \n2 PSAT/NMSQT PRACTICE TEST \\#1 ANSWER EXPLANATIONS  \nQUESTION 2  \nChoice D is the best answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion of Sam Gilliam’s artworks. As used in this context,“creating” means producing or bringing something into existence. The text indicates that Gilliam isan artist who made draped canvases and, later, quilt-like paintings. This context supports the idea that Gilliam explored different styles in his art by creating special types of paintings.  \nChoice A is incorrect because the text indicates that Gilliam actually explored and pursued the creation of quilt-like paintings; he wasn’t just “predicting,” or declaring in advance, the existence of these paintings. Choice B is incorrect because in this context “refusing” would mean rejecting, and there is nothing in the text to suggest that Gilliam rejected his quilt-like paintings. Instead, the text indicates that he was exploring and pursuing a new art style in these paintings.  \nChoice C is incorrect because in this context “hiding”would mean concealing from view, and there is nothing in the text to suggest that Gilliam attempted to conceal his quilt-like paintings. Instead, the text indicates that he was exploring and pursuing a new art style in these paintings.  \nQUESTION 3  \nChoice B is the best answer because it most logically completes the text’s discussion about Kouchaki and colleagues’ research into how workload affects productivity. In context,“efficient” means effective or well organized. The text indicates that, according to Kouchaki and colleagues’ research, people who worked on hard tasks first were “more skilled and productive” than those who did easy tasks first. This context conveys the idea that despite their sense of accomplishment, the people who chose to do the easy tasks first were less efficient or productive than those who tackled hard tasks first.  \nChoice A is incorrect because there’s nothing in the text to suggest that workers who do ea","cbCaineaDtFvANM8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaineaDtFvANM8","pdf",556878,49,"English","# ANSWER EXPLANATIONS\n## Reading and Writing\n### Module 1 (33 questions)\n## QUESTION 1\n## QUESTION 2\n## QUESTION 3\n## QUESTION 4","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this PSAT/NMSQT Practice Test 1 answer explanations document?\",\"answer\":\"It provides answer rationales for students taking the digital PSAT/NMSQT in a nondigital format, explaining why correct choices fit the passages and why other choices do not.\"},{\"question\":\"Which section of the exam does this document focus on?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on Reading and Writing, specifically Module 1 with 33 questions.\"},{\"question\":\"How are correct answers determined in these explanations?\",\"answer\":\"Correct answers are justified by interpreting vocabulary in context and using the passage details to show logical support, while incorrect choices are refuted by showing what the text does not indicate.\"}]","PSAT/NMSQT Practice Test 1 - Answer Explanations | PDF",123]
