Today’s SAT question of the day is a quick and easy sentence completion.

…a novelist should not ——- , for sermonizing has no place in good fiction.

The sentence gives us the perfect word to fill in for the blank:

Sermonize!

Even if you don’t know exactly what the word means, you probably remember that sermons typically happen in churches.  You might even remember that they are instructive talks for the congregation.  All of this makes it a short hop to the correct answer: “preach”.
