Question

1. in paragraph 19, the author contrasts an imaginary 2022 version of the jetsons with its original 1960s version most likely to suggest that --

modern audiences would probably prefer a cartoon that portrayed current technology

the original cartoon featured characters that still seem appealing today

the creators of the cartoon inaccurately predicted the future

clear all

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The contrast is not about modern audiences' preference for current tech portrayal.
• Option 2: Contrasting a 2022 version with the original 1960s one to show original characters' enduring appeal makes sense, as the contrast highlights that the original's characters still resonate today.
• Option 3: The contrast doesn't imply a modern remake is more interesting; it's about the original's lasting appeal.
• Option 4: The contrast isn't about predicting the future inaccurately, but about the original's timelessness.
