Question of the Day

Answer today's SAT Reading and Writing question, reveal the full explanation, then keep the streak going with a new question every day.

After months of field trials, the engineering team compiled a report comparing three prototypes of a foldable electric bike, detailing frame materials, hinge designs, and how each model handled potholes and sudden stops on city streets. In the conclusion, the authors argue that   demonstrates the greatest durability-to-weight ratio, a finding that may justify allocating more resources to long-distance testing before the product goes to market.

Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

  1. it
  2. this
  3. the third prototype (correct answer)
  4. they

Explanation: Using the specific noun phrase 'the third prototype' avoids an ambiguous pronoun reference and clearly identifies the subject of 'demonstrates.' 'It' and 'this' are vague, and 'they' creates subject-verb disagreement with 'demonstrates.'
