Question

read the sentence from the passage.
for example, a person who didn’t like the service received at a store might make a stink about it and complain on social media.
how does this sentence connect to the rest of the passage?
a it provides an example of what \make a stink\ meant both in the past and today.
b it shows how the phrase \make a stink\ has become more popular over time.
c it provides evidence that \make a stink\ no longer means what it used to mean.
d it uses a modern example to show that the phrase \make a stink\ is still used today.

Explanation:

• Option a: The sentence only gives a modern example, not past and present, so a is wrong.
• Option b: The example doesn't show popularity over time, so b is wrong.
• Option c: The example doesn't imply the meaning changed, so c is wrong.
• Option d: The example of a person complaining on social media (a modern context) shows the phrase "make a stink" is still used today.

Answer:

d. It uses a modern example to show that the phrase "make a stink" is still used today.
