Reading the passage
The writer distinguishes the small group receiving profits from the larger group enjoying technological benefits, then connects the two through market incentives. We can draw on that connection without assuming the writer holds every other view that might sound sympathetic to markets.
Working the answers
- A
No comparison ranks computer profits against profits from every other technological development. The claim that profits reach relatively few people doesn't supply that ranking.
- BCorrect
The last paragraph explains how seeking profit can motivate businesses to expand access to useful technology. That benefits many people beyond the entrepreneurs and investors themselves.
- C
Broader access within society doesn't show that national borders rarely obstruct technology's spread. Cross-border barriers aren't assessed.
- D
Investing capital involves risk, but no comparison establishes that technology investments are typically riskier than other investments.
- E
Communication over distances is discussed. A claim that people moving from place to place increased investors' profits would require a different connection that isn't made here.
