Question

board games make a comeback by jacqueline adams for thousands of years, friends have gathered together to play board games. some of these games include checkers and chess. these games, which are played in person using a physical board and game pieces, are experiencing a resurgence in popularity, rather than becoming outdated in todays digital age. new games released every year, some refer to our time as the golden age of board games. not only are people playing their favorite games at home, but theyre also meeting at board game cafés that have opened around the world. why might people think board games would become outdated? people play board games in real life, not online. board games are no longer popular activities. no new board games have been created in awhile.

Explanation:

To determine why people might think board games would become outdated, we analyze the context of the "digital age" mentioned in the passage. In today's digital era, many forms of entertainment are online (like video games, digital apps). Board games are played in person with physical components, contrasting with the prevalence of online activities. The first option ("People play board games in real life, not online") aligns with this context—if most entertainment is shifting online, the in - person nature of board games could lead people to think they'd become outdated as they don't fit the digital trend. The second option ("Board games are no longer popular activities") is incorrect as the passage states they are experiencing a resurgence. The third option ("No new board games have been created in awhile") is wrong because the passage says new games are released every year.

Answer:

A. People play board games in real life, not online.
