Reading the passage
What is becoming more equal? Access to the benefits of technology. More people can read, use computing resources, enjoy entertainment, and communicate over distances. The opening expressly distinguishes that wider benefit from the financial profits that go to relatively few people.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
Tangible goods include physical things, while intangible goods include benefits such as information or entertainment. Their broader distribution captures the writer's point: useful benefits become available to people who previously lacked access. It doesn't require equal wealth.
- B
The examples concern using technology, not an equal opportunity to invent it.
- C
This confuses the two sides of the opening contrast. The writer acknowledges concentrated profits while arguing that the technology's benefits spread more widely.
- D
Participation in governing or regulating society isn't discussed. The political association of democratizing doesn't fit how the word is used here.
- E
Broader access to technology isn't a claim that everyone receives the same social status.
