Set 9: Form, Structure & Sense (Advanced)
Explanation
PASSAGE
The novel's protagonist struggles with _______ identity throughout the story, questioning who she truly is.
Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of sentence function and text organization. The sentence later clarifies 'who she truly is,' indicating the protagonist is female. The possessive pronoun 'her' correctly matches this reference. Each sentence in a well-constructed text serves a specific purpose. Consider what role this sentence plays in the argument: does it introduce, support, contrast, or conclude an idea? Understanding why an author includes specific sentences helps you grasp the overall argument. Each sentence should serve a clear purpose: introducing ideas, providing evidence, acknowledging counterarguments, or drawing conclusions. Identify the role to understand the structure.
Key Evidence:
• "protagonist struggles"
• "who she truly is"
Why others are wrong: A ('One's' is impersonal; the sentence uses the personal pronoun 'she.'), D ('Its' is used for objects or animals, not for a person referred to as 'she.'), C ('Their' is plural; 'protagonist' is singular and 'she' confirms singular feminine.).
