2025 ACT Practice Test English Answer Explanations

Question 1, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is C. “When”.

  • The sentence is describing a specific time in the past—when Atala opened his restaurant in 1999. Using “When” clearly introduces the time-related clause and sets up the context for what follows. The original phrase “At first” incorrectly suggests a contrast or sequence of events, but the sentence isn’t comparing two points in time or showing a shift; it’s simply stating what happened at the time the restaurant opened. Options A, B, and D are either misleading or grammatically incomplete, while C correctly and clearly introduces the time clause.

Question 2, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is B. “ingredients—such as manioc root”.

  • Em dashes are appropriate when inserting a break or interruption for emphasis, and here they neatly isolate the list of unusual ingredients, giving it the right emphasis without disrupting the sentence flow. Choice A (the original) is incorrect because the comma after “ingredients” followed by “such as,” and then another comma after “manioc root” is unnecessary and awkward. Choice C lacks proper punctuation altogether, making the phrase confusing and grammatically incomplete. Choice D incorrectly adds a comma before “manioc root” and another after it, which makes it choppy and unclear. Only option B provides the clearest and most grammatically correct construction.

Question 3, The writer wants to emphasize the positive experience diners have at Atala’s restaurant. Which choice best accomplishes that goal? The correct answer is A. “No Change”.

  • The word “thrilled” clearly conveys a strong, positive emotional reaction, which aligns perfectly with the writer’s goal of emphasizing how much diners have enjoyed the experience. The other choices—“mystified,” “shocked,” and “startled”—are more neutral or even negative in tone. “Mystified” suggests confusion or wonder, which doesn’t clearly indicate a positive feeling. “Shocked” and “startled” both carry negative or jarring connotations and don’t fit the positive context of the sentence. “Thrilled” directly supports the idea of diners having a joyful, enthusiastic response, making it the best option.

Question 4, Given that all the choices are accurate, which one provides the best transition from the preceding paragraph to this paragraph? The correct answer is A. “No Change”.

  • The phrase “Still, Atala felt he could do more for his country and its cuisine” works well as a transition because it builds directly on the previous paragraph’s focus on Atala’s success with his restaurant. The word “Still” signals a shift—it shows that even though Atala had achieved great things, he wasn’t done yet. This leads logically into the next paragraph, which discusses how he went on to found Instituto Atá and further contribute to Brazil’s culinary and environmental landscape. The other options, while accurate, are too specific or unrelated to the flow of the paragraph.

Question 5, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is A. “No Change”.

  • The sentence is describing the tree dying once its (possessive) heart is removed, and “its” is the proper pronoun for showing ownership. Choice B uses “their,” which is plural and doesn’t match the singular subject “tree.” Choice C incorrectly makes the subject plural (“trees”) and still uses “its,” creating disagreement. Choice D uses “it’s,” which is a contraction for “it is” or “it has,” and is incorrect in this possessive context. Therefore, “its” in the original sentence is grammatically correct and consistent with the sentence structure.

Question 6, Which choice most effectively maintains the essay’s tone? The correct answer is A.“No Change”.

  • This wording is formal, neutral, and consistent with the informative and respectful tone of the essay. The passage discusses sustainability and environmental responsibility in a serious and objective style, and “live to yield” fits that tone perfectly. The other choices—“pull through and spawn,” “continue to churn out,” and “keep doling out”—are too casual or informal. “Pull through and spawn” sounds overly dramatic and biological, “churn out” implies mass production and lacks sensitivity, and “dole out” has a somewhat dismissive or mechanical tone. Only “live to yield” matches the tone and intent of the essay.

Question 7, Which choice is least redundant in context? The correct answer is D. “knowledge of local plants,”.

  • This option is the most concise and clear version of the idea without repeating information unnecessarily. The original phrase “know-how they have” is vague and repetitive, since “know-how” already implies knowledge that someone possesses. Option B is overly wordy and repeats the idea of knowledge and knowing in an awkward way. Option C adds an unnecessary phrase “in the area,” which is implied by the term “local plants.” Only option D communicates the intended meaning efficiently and clearly, avoiding redundancy while staying on topic.

Question 8, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is D. “centuries, using”.

  • This option correctly joins the noun “centuries” with the modifying phrase “using indigenous agricultural techniques.” The original sentence “centuries that use” is incorrect because “centuries” (a measure of time) cannot logically “use” something. Option D eliminates that illogical construction and replaces it with a participial phrase that clearly and concisely describes the farming practices of the Baníwa women.

Question 9, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is B. “has enabled”.

  • This option matches the singular subject “Partnering,” which is a gerund functioning as a singular noun. The sentence begins, “Partnering with Instituto Atá…” and refers to a singular action that has had an effect, so the correct verb form is the singular present perfect tense “has enabled.” The original “have enabled” is incorrect because “have” is plural and doesn’t agree with the singular subject. Options C (“are enabling”) and D (“enable”) are also incorrect for the same reason—they don’t match the singular subject and do not maintain proper tense for the context, which discusses a completed action with ongoing results.

Question 10, Which choice is clearest and most precise in context? The correct answer is B. “transforming”.

  • The sentence describes Alex Atala’s work in promoting Brazil’s native ingredients and reshaping the way people think about the country’s food culture. The word “transforming” clearly and accurately conveys this idea of meaningful and positive change. The original word “deciphering” is less appropriate because it implies trying to interpret or decode something mysterious, which doesn’t fit the context. Choices C and D (“dislocating” and “contorting”) are even less relevant and introduce negative or confusing connotations that don’t match the sentence’s tone.

Question 11, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is B. “author and dramatist,”.

  • This option properly sets off the appositive phrase with commas. The phrase “a medieval author and dramatist” is additional, descriptive information about Hrosvitha, and it needs to be separated from the rest of the sentence with commas to maintain grammatical clarity. The original version lacks the second comma, which makes the sentence harder to follow. Option C incorrectly places a comma before “and,” which is not needed between just two items. Option D omits commas entirely, which fails to set off the nonessential phrase. Only B correctly punctuates the appositive phrase.

Question 12, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is D. “Gandersheim, an abbey”.

  • This option provides a grammatically correct and clear appositive that renames Gandersheim concisely. The phrase “an abbey” gives additional information about Gandersheim without creating a run-on or awkward sentence structure. The original version (“the abbey at Gandersheim, it was well known…”) is a comma splice—two independent clauses incorrectly joined by a comma. Choices B and C also result in grammatically clumsy or run-on constructions. Only choice D correctly inserts the appositive to clarify what Gandersheim is, while keeping the sentence smooth and grammatically sound.

Question 13, Which choice most effectively maintains the essay’s tone? The correct answer is C. “allowed her to retain”.

  • This option maintains the formal, objective tone of the essay while clearly conveying the intended meaning. The essay uses academic and informative language throughout, and “allowed her to retain” matches that tone perfectly. The original phrase “made it okay for her to keep” is too casual and vague for the context. Choices B and D (“permitted her to hang on to” and “let her keep up”) are also too informal or imprecise. Only option C provides a clear and professional-sounding alternative that fits seamlessly with the rest of the passage.

Question 14, Which transition word or phrase is most logical in context? The correct answer is C. “As a result,”.

  • The sentence explains that Hrosvitha’s financial independence and lack of obligations to marry allowed her greater freedom than most women of her time. This makes “As a result,” the most logical transition, showing that her independence was a consequence of the prior circumstance. The original choice “Nevertheless,” as well as “On the other hand” and “In contrast,” all imply contradiction, but there is no contrast between the ideas—they build on each other logically. Only “As a result,” clearly connects the cause and effect between the previous sentence and what follows.

Question 15, Which choice best helps indicate that each historical epic covered different subject matter? The correct answer is D. “one about the court of Otto I, the other about”.

  • This option clearly signals that the two historical epics had different focuses. This directly answers the question’s goal of showing that each epic dealt with separate subject matter. The original phrase (“about the court of Otto I and Gandersheim”) is ambiguous and could be interpreted as describing both epics collectively. Choice B (“each focused on…”) and C (“focusing on…as well as”) also suggest the same or overlapping topics. Only D unambiguously divides the content into two distinct subjects, which is what the question asks for.

Question 16, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is D. “highway onto a stretch of Route 66 that is”.

  • This version eliminates the comma splice present in the original sentence and avoids unnecessary commas that interrupt the sentence flow. It provides a clear and grammatically correct structure: “I turn off the gridlocked highway onto a stretch of Route 66 that is surrounded by arid New Mexico hills.” The other choices either insert disruptive or incorrect punctuation (like extra commas) or change the sentence structure in a way that creates confusion.

Question 17, Which choice is least redundant in context? The correct answer is D. “into the rearview mirror,”.

  • This option is the most concise version that still clearly conveys the necessary information. The phrase “windows rolled down” is unnecessary here, as the very next sentence says the narrator rolls down the windows. Including both is repetitive. Option A (the original) is too wordy. Option B adds unrelated detail that’s already been established. Option C is even more redundant by restating the act of looking backward. Only D eliminates unnecessary repetition while preserving clarity and flow.

Question 18, If the writer were to delete the highlighted text (adjusting the punctuation as needed), the paragraph would primarily lose: The correct answer is C. “information that clarifies a primary function of rumble strips.”

  • The highlighted phrase—“like a built-in alarm for drivers who drift too close to the road’s edge”—provides a clear comparison that explains what rumble strips are designed to do: alert inattentive drivers. Without this comparison, the paragraph would be less informative about how rumble strips function. It doesn’t reveal the narrator’s opinion (ruling out B), say how common rumble strips are (ruling out A), or describe what they look like (ruling out D). Only C captures the specific role of the highlighted detail.

Question 19, Which choice is least redundant in context? The correct answer is A. “No Change”.

  • The sentence is already clear, concise, and fits smoothly into the sentence without repeating information the reader already knows. The sentence has just mentioned “musical rumble strips,” and the surrounding context makes their location and function obvious. The other options all introduce unnecessary repetition or detail—B restates the location, which is already established; C redundantly explains the strips “play music,” which is addressed later; and D adds a vague time reference that’s already clearly stated earlier in the sentence. Keeping it simple with “were installed” is the least redundant and most effective choice.

Question 20, Given that all the choices are accurate, which one most effectively leads into the rest of the essay? The correct answer is D. “this detour on our drive home never fails to buoy my spirits.”.

  • This option most effectively sets up the personal, reflective tone that carries through the rest of the essay. The passage isn’t focused on statistics, city planning, or other drivers—it’s a narrative about the author’s own routine, emotional experience, and connection with their children during this detour. Choices A, B, and C focus too broadly on other drivers or repeat details that are explained later, whereas D smoothly introduces the essay’s central theme: how this musical detour offers a moment of calm and joy in an otherwise hectic day.

Question 21, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is A. “No Change”.

  • The verb “fades” agrees in both number and tense with the subject “one,” which is singular and present tense. The phrase “After the last one of the notes fades into the darkening sky” needs a third-person singular verb form, and “fades” is correct. Choices B and C shift the tense unnecessarily, and D uses the base form “fade,” which is not correct with a singular subject in the present tense. Therefore, keeping “fades” as is maintains proper subject-verb agreement and preserves the consistency of tense in the narrative.

Question 22, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is A. “No Change”.

  • The phrase “the boys, who have been lulled by the wonder of the song” uses “who” correctly as a subject pronoun referring to “the boys,” and it correctly introduces the relative clause. “Have been lulled” is also the correct verb form for the present perfect passive voice. Option B, “whom have,” is incorrect because “whom” is used as an object, not a subject. Option C, “they have,” breaks the grammatical structure by starting a new clause rather than continuing the relative clause. Option D, “whose,” is a possessive pronoun and doesn’t fit the context. Therefore, the sentence is most grammatically acceptable as written.

Question 23, Which transition word or phrase is most logical in context? The correct answer is C. “For now,”. 

  • The sentence describes how the speaker momentarily stops worrying about work and other concerns after being comforted by the music and the moment with her children. “For now” effectively conveys the temporary nature of this relief, making it the most logical and precise transition. The other options don’t match the tone or timing: “Until then” (No Change) implies something that hasn’t happened yet, “Now and then” suggests sporadic action, and “Later” implies a future event, none of which fit the moment being described.

Question 24, Should the writer make this addition? The correct answer is C. “No, because it draws the focus away from the New Mexico musical road and its effect on the narrator.”

  • The passage centers on the narrator’s personal experience with a specific stretch of Route 66 in New Mexico. It explores how this unique road, with its musical rumble strips, impacts the narrator’s mood and routine. Introducing information about another musical road in California would be a distraction and would shift the focus away from the essay’s main subject: the narrator’s relationship with the New Mexico road. That’s why option C is the best choice.

Question 25, The sentence would most logically be placed at which of the highlighted points? The correct answer is D. “Point D in Paragraph 4”.

  • This is the moment in the passage when the experience with the rumble strip music has come to an end, the note fades away, and the speaker reflects on the calming effect it has had. Inserting “It is marvelously quiet.” here fits the mood and the progression of thought—it underscores the contrast between the earlier noisy chaos and the serene moment afterward. The other options occur earlier in the narrative when the noise is either ongoing or hasn’t yet occurred, making them less logical places for a comment on quiet.

Question 26, If the writer were to delete the highlighted text, the essay would primarily lose a: The correct answer is B. “clarification of what public museum stewardship entails.”

  • The phrase “legal and ethical management, care, documentation, and use” defines exactly what the term “stewardship” means in this context. Without it, the sentence becomes vague, and readers might not fully understand the scope of responsibility that public museums hold. The essay uses this definition to ground its argument, so removing it would weaken the clarity of a key concept introduced at the very beginning.

Question 27, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is D. “displaying”.

  • The sentence reads, “Displaying such a small portion of artifacts severely limits public access and therefore public education,” which is both clear and concise. The other options introduce dangling modifiers or awkward phrasing. For example, “When displaying” and “While displaying” suggest a dependent clause but don’t provide a subject to complete the thought, and “With the display of” is wordy and less direct. Only “Displaying” functions smoothly and logically in context.

Question 28, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is A. “No Change”.

  • The sentence currently uses a clear and grammatically correct subject-verb structure. The sentence reads: “Also known as open storage, visible storage provides ways to display many items…” which is direct and properly constructed. The other choices introduce grammatical errors or awkward phrasing: “storage makes providing” is redundant and unclear, “storage, which provides” unnecessarily splits the clause with a comma and changes the emphasis, and “storage, providing” turns the main clause into a participial phrase, making the sentence incomplete. The original version is the only one that maintains fluency and clarity.

Question 29, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is A. “No Change”.

  • The sentence refers to how each artifact is positioned with space between it and other objects. Since the subject is singular (“each artifact”), the singular pronoun “it” is appropriate. The phrase “between it and the other objects” correctly describes a spatial relationship involving one artifact and several others. The other options incorrectly shift the number or use imprecise prepositions: “between them” implies multiple artifacts are being referenced together, “among them” is vague and doesn’t suit the one-to-many comparison, and “among it” is ungrammatical. Therefore, the original version is the clearest and most precise.

Question 30, Which transition word is most logical in context? The correct answer is B. “Conversely,”.

  • The sentence introduces a contrast between traditional museum displays and visible storage displays. Traditional displays feature space between objects and individual labels, while visible storage displays place objects closer together and have fewer labels. The transition “Conversely” clearly signals this contrast in approach. “Subsequently” (the original) incorrectly implies a sequence of time rather than contrast. “Namely” introduces specifics or clarifications, and “Granted” implies concession—neither fits the logical structure here. Therefore, “Conversely” is the most appropriate choice to reflect the contrasting ideas.

Question 31, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is C. “that”.

  • This option creates a smooth, grammatically correct connection between “Ceramic pottery” and the clause that describes where it might otherwise be displayed. The relative pronoun “that” is appropriate for essential clauses like this one, where the location of the pottery is critical information. The phrase “where it” is ungrammatical and unclear, while “that which” is unnecessarily wordy. Deleting the phrase altogether would leave the sentence incomplete.

Question 32, Given that the information is accurate, should the writer make this addition here? The correct answer is A. “Yes, because it gives specific examples to help explain why some objects can never be displayed in a museum.”

  • The proposed parenthetical phrase offers concrete reasons for a claim made just before it: that certain artifacts can never be displayed. Including it helps clarify and support that claim by giving readers real-world explanations, which enhances the overall clarity and persuasiveness of the paragraph. It fits smoothly in the context and strengthens the author’s message without detracting from the paragraph’s focus.

Question 33, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is A. “No Change”.

  • The sentence “many pieces that can—and should—be viewed are not” uses the em dashes correctly to add emphasis and draw attention to the idea that these pieces not only can be viewed but should be. This structure is both grammatically correct and stylistically effective. The other choices either introduce unnecessary punctuation (C and D) or change the intended emphasis (B). Thus, the original version is the clearest and most effective.

Question 34, Which choice is clearest and most precise in context? The correct answer is C. “When”.

  • This option most clearly introduces the specific condition under which artifacts can be safely displayed—when a museum designates areas for visible storage. It directly ties the clause to a situation or circumstance, which improves the sentence’s clarity. The original word, Whereas, suggests a contrast that doesn’t fit the supportive, explanatory tone of the sentence. Other choices like Although and Since imply relationships (contrast or causality) that don’t match the sentence’s purpose as precisely as When does.

Question 35, For the sake of logic and cohesion, the sentence should be placed at which of the highlighted points? The correct answer is A. “Point A in Paragraph 1”.

  • The sentence “This potentially compromises stewardship” refers to a threat to museums’ ability to care for and manage their collections. In Paragraph 1, the essay discusses how limited exhibit space forces most artifacts into storage, which restricts public access and makes caring for these artifacts more difficult. Inserting this sentence at Point A, right after explaining the challenge of maintaining a large number of stored artifacts, clearly connects the cause (storage limitations) with the consequence (compromised stewardship). The other points don’t provide the same clear link between problem and impact.

Question 36, If the writer were to delete the phrase “which can measure up to thirteen feet wide and seven feet thick” from the preceding sentence (adjusting the punctuation as needed), the sentence would primarily lose: The correct answer is B. “specific information that underscores the enormousness of the weavers’ nests.”

  • The phrase in question provides a vivid sense of scale, helping readers grasp just how large these nests are. Without this detail, the description of the nests as “enormous” becomes less convincing or meaningful. This measurement highlights the nests’ impressive size and supports the idea that they serve as massive communal homes, which is essential to the paragraph’s purpose.

Question 37, Which choice best accomplishes this goal? The correct answer is B.”carelessly plunked-down haystacks”.

  • This option offers a vivid and imaginative description that captures the strange and chaotic appearance of the nests. This choice uses playful and informal language that reflects the writer’s tone and helps the reader visualize the oddly shaped and seemingly disordered structure of the weaver nests. The other options are either too bland (“collections of disparate items,” “large knots”) or too formal (“disorganized piles”) to achieve the same effect.

Question 38, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is C. “squeezing”.

  • This choice creates a parallel structure with the previous clause, “by flying to the underside of the nest,” which also uses a gerund. Using squeezing continues the sequence of actions clearly and smoothly. The original “it squeezes” incorrectly shifts to a new subject and verb, disrupting the flow. Choices B and D also break the parallel construction and make the sentence more awkward or grammatically inconsistent.

Question 39, Which choice is least redundant in context? The correct answer is D. “for warmth during the cold Kalahari nights”.

  • It efficiently communicates the purpose of the birds huddling together without repeating ideas already implied by other parts of the sentence. The original phrase “as a group together when the Kalahari nights get cold” is redundant—“as a group” and “together” are repetitive, and the rest of the phrase could be more concise. Choice D eliminates the redundancy while maintaining clarity and purpose in the sentence.

Question 40, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is D. “at its”.

  • The sentence requires the possessive form of “it.” The phrase refers to the communal living being at its most effective—“its” here shows possession. The other choices confuse the contraction “it’s” (meaning “it is”) with the possessive, leading to a grammatical error.

Question 41, Which choice best maintains the stylistic pattern of descriptions established earlier in the sentence? The correct answer is A. “No Change”.

  • The current wording continues the vivid, sensory pattern already established by descriptions like “layers of petals” and “intricate spirals and rosettes.” These phrases are rich, visual, and textured, painting a detailed image of the embroidery. “Dizzying mazes of lines” fits this poetic, layered style best, while the other options feel too vague, plain, or inconsistent in tone.

Question 42, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is B. “centuries-old”.

  • When using compound adjectives before a noun (in this case, “Hmong needlework arts”), hyphenation is necessary to clarify that the two words function together as a single descriptor. “Centuries-old” is the correct compound modifier, and this form is both grammatically correct and idiomatic. Choices C and D use apostrophes incorrectly, and the original (A) omits the hyphen, which makes the phrase unclear.

Question 43, Should the sentence be kept or deleted? The correct answer is D. “Deleted, because it adds a detail that is irrelevant to the paragraph’s introduction of Pang Xiong’s connection to paj ntaub.”

  • The highlighted sentence discusses a trend in paj ntaub becoming lighter and softer, but the paragraph is focused on introducing Pang Xiong as a master of the traditional art form and providing background on her personal and cultural connection to it. The detail about changing styles in general distracts from this more specific focus, making the sentence irrelevant in context.

Question 44, The best placement for the highlighted text would be: The correct answer is C. “after the word clothing.”

  • The phrase “commonly as a shirt, dress, coat, or collar” is a clarification that directly describes the types of garments paj ntaub is made into. Placing it immediately after “clothing” keeps the sentence logical and clear: “Flower cloth is made to be worn as clothing, commonly as a shirt, dress, coat, or collar…” This positioning avoids interrupting the flow and ensures the clarification comes right after the general term it explains.

Question 45, Which choice most clearly builds on the information provided earlier in the sentence about a common theme in paj ntaub patterns and images? The correct answer is D. “paj ntaub celebrates the natural world.”

  • The earlier part of the sentence references pattern names like “elephant’s foot” and “snail house” and mentions that images of animals are framed by geometric designs. These examples highlight a strong connection to nature, so the idea that paj ntaub “celebrates the natural world” directly reinforces and extends that point, making it the most logical and cohesive choice.

Question 46, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is A. “No Change”.

  • The phrase “appliqué, in which” is grammatically correct and clearly introduces a relative clause that explains how the appliqué technique works. It maintains the formal tone and sentence structure of the passage. The other options either disrupt the flow (B and C) or create a sentence fragment (D).

Question 47, Which choice makes the sentence most grammatically acceptable? The correct answer is B. “the surface of the fabric.”

  • The phrase “applied to its surface” in the original sentence is unclear because “its” has no clear singular noun antecedent. Since the sentence refers to embroidered fabric, explicitly saying “the surface of the fabric” clarifies the reference and eliminates ambiguity, improving both grammar and precision.

Question 48, Should the writer make this revision? The correct answer is A. “Yes, because the revision creates a clearer contrast between the homogeneous styles of clothing that are popular today and the handcrafted paj ntaub.”

  • The revision creates a clearer contrast between the homogeneous styles of clothing that are popular today and the handcrafted paj ntaub. The phrase mass-produced more specifically describes the type of clothing Pang Xiong contrasts with paj ntaub, which is handmade and unique. The original word regular is vague, while mass-produced more effectively highlights the contrast in styles and methods of creation.

Question 49, Which transition word or phrase, if any, is most logical in context? The correct answer is D. “She”.

  • The phrase “However, she” in the original sentence suggests a contrast, but no contrast actually exists between the sentence it introduces and the one before it. The previous sentence explains that Pang Xiong wore handmade clothing as a child, and the next sentence continues that idea by stating she still wears it. Since the ideas are consistent and build on each other, there’s no need for a transition word at all. Starting the sentence with “She” is the most logical and grammatically appropriate option.

Question 50, Which of the following true statements, if added here, would best build on the ideas presented in this paragraph and connect to the final sentence of the essay? The correct answer is C. “Recently, she worked with nine young Hmong women in a formal apprenticeship.”

  • The final sentence of the paragraph states that Pang Xiong is inspiring a new generation through her paj ntaub work. Option C directly supports this idea by describing her mentorship of young Hmong women, making it the most logical and cohesive addition to build on the paragraph’s message and strengthen the ending.
