Which one of the following(12 more words not shown)

Reading the passage

The middle paragraph supplies several concrete results of technology: broader access to texts, computing resources, entertainment, and communication. We need a result the writer identifies, not another plausible benefit of innovation.

Working the answers

  • A

    Scientists appear in a comparison about computing access. That doesn't establish that scientific research itself is burgeoning.

  • B

    Broadcasting is discussed as a source of entertainment, not as an educational tool.

  • C

    No exchange of political ideas is described.

  • D

    Travel is mentioned as something that was once expensive. We aren't told technology made travel faster.

  • E
    Correct

    The schoolchild example specifically describes “computing power and database access” comparable to what top scientists had fifteen years earlier. More people can access those resources.
