Question

more than a phone
4 what made the iphone so revolutionary wasn’t just how it looked but what it could do. it was the first phone that felt like a minicomputer in your pocket. it let you surf the web, check the weather, send emails, watch videos, and listen to music—all from one device. and it resonated with the company’s users. the device went on sale on june 29, 2007, and only a month later, 1.4 million iphones had been sold. just over a year later, in july 2008, apple launched the app store, where developers made iphone apps available to users. suddenly, there were apps for maps, photos, messaging, and more. this made the iphone even more useful and opened the door for a whole new digital economy.
question 3
what is the meaning of the word resonated, as it is used in paragraph 4?
a made a sound or echo
b connected or strongly appealed to
c explained something clearly
d shook or vibrated like a bell

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "resonated" in the context, we analyze the sentence: "It resonated with the company’s users" followed by high sales (1.4 million in a month). Option A (sound/echo) and D (shake/vibrate) are literal, not fitting context. Option C (explain clearly) is irrelevant. Option B (connected or strongly appealed to) makes sense as the iPhone's features would appeal to users, leading to high sales.

Answer:

B. connected or strongly appealed to
