Question

1. part b: which detail from the text supports the answer to part a?

a. \the era of rotary telephones\ (paragraph 20)
b. \e-mails, the internet, and cell phones.\ (paragraph 20)
c. \investigations are often slowed\ (paragraph 21)
d. \under this new law,\ (paragraph 22)

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to assume the answer to Part A (likely related to a topic like technological change or legal impact on investigations). Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: "the era of rotary telephones" refers to an old technology, not supporting a modern - related Part A answer.
• Option B: "e - mails, the Internet, and cell phones" are modern communication technologies. If Part A was about modern technology's impact (e.g., on investigations or society), this would support it.
• Option C: "Investigations are often slowed" is about a problem in investigations, not directly supporting a Part A answer related to technology or law change (without knowing Part A, but generally, this is more of a problem statement).
• Option D: "Under this new law" is about a law, which would support a Part A answer related to legal changes, but without Part A, we assume a common context where modern technology is a key point.

Assuming Part A is about modern technology's impact (e.g., on investigations or communication), Option B ("e - mails, the Internet, and cell phones") provides details of modern technology, which would support the answer to Part A. Other options are less relevant: A is old technology, C is a problem in investigations, D is about a new law.

Answer:

B. "e - mails, the Internet, and cell phones." (Paragraph 20)
