(paragraph 8) what will become of society if robots do all the work? (paragraph 2) with the rise of industrial robots, many unskilled laborers lost their jobs. (paragraph 7) these are issues that are no longer limited to science fiction. (paragraph 10) reading passage an automated society 1 there was a time when robots and home automation were just a fantasy. robots were found only in science fiction and home automation was limited to cartoon families who had every convenience at their fingertips. meals arrived with a simple push of a button. a robot maid performed every task humans didn’t care to do. today, these once visionary ideas have become reality.

Explanation:

To determine the supporting detail, we analyze each option:

• The first option ("Automated systems...") likely states a main idea about automated systems replacing human tasks, not a supporting detail.
• The second option ("What will become...") poses a question, not a detail.
• The third option ("With the rise...") describes a consequence (job loss) of industrial robots, which supports a main idea about robot impact on work.
• The fourth option ("These are issues...") shifts to science fiction vs reality, less directly supporting a core detail about robot work impact.

The third option provides a specific example (unskilled laborers losing jobs) to support ideas about robotic automation's effects, making it a supporting detail.

Answer:

With the rise of industrial robots, many unskilled laborers lost their jobs. (paragraph 7)
