Solution

The sentence with the largest psychic distance is B. "A man stands in his backyard, calling and whistling, presumably to a dog." This sentence has the largest psychic distance because it is the most detached and impersonal. It does not specify who the man is or what his relationship to the dog might be. It also does not provide any insight into the man's thoughts or feelings, unlike the other sentences.
