Question 8 • PCA 26-27 - ELA - I Literature and Composition (23.3616000) YL IC – 2230727
Crude can mean unrefined or in a natural, unprocessed state, so A uses it to describe minerals that have not been refined. It can also mean rough or not highly detailed, as in C’s preliminary sketch, or vulgar and offensive, as in D’s inappropriate jokes. B pairs “polite” with “crude” in a way that does not fit the sentence, and E describes flowers that look realistic rather than roughly made.
