I would select option (B). Because the audience may not be familiar with the PSAT, you shouldn't use the abbreviation on first reference. Write out "Preliminary SAT." There is no need to include "PSAT," as it is redundant. Therefore, (B) is the best answer.

I shouldn't have told them that halite is used to season fries.

My friend licked halite in competition to identify it. I guess that he wasn't quite sure until he licked it.

Not on my test :twisted:

tbh though my Captains Tryouts test isn't really that hard (or at least it's easier than the other CT tests, but I think I got the difficulty about right)
