Question

1. the author most likely intended the selection to appeal to people who -

worry that flying cars could be dangerous
wonder whether flying cars will ever become a realization
want to learn how flying cars work
believe that the idea of flying cars is outdated
clear all

Explanation:

To determine the author's intended audience, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Focuses on safety concerns, but the question is about the author's intent for the selection (likely informative about flying cars' feasibility or mechanics, not just safety).
• Option 2: People who wonder if flying cars will be real would be interested in content discussing their potential realization, which aligns with an author's intent to address such curiosity.
• Option 3: While learning how they work is possible, the question is about the author's intent for the "selection" (broader context), and wondering about realization is more about the overall concept of flying cars becoming real.
• Option 4: People who think the idea is outdated would not be the target of a selection promoting or explaining flying cars.

So the most probable is those who wonder if flying cars will become a reality.

Answer:

B. wonder whether flying cars will ever become a realization
