Question

the maximum time allotted to complete both parts of the critical-reading section of the psat is: a. 30 minutes. b. 90 minutes. c. 40 minutes. d. 60 minutes.

Explanation:

The critical - reading section of the PSAT has two parts. The total allotted time for both parts is 60 minutes. We know from the structure of the PSAT that the critical - reading section's combined time for its two parts is 60 minutes. So we can eliminate options A (30 minutes, too short), B (90 minutes, too long), and C (40 minutes, incorrect) and identify D as the correct option.

Answer:

D. 60 minutes.
