Question

superpowers
1 jackson finished reading his comic book and set it down. \wouldnt it be amazing to have superpowers?\
2 \i cant decide which superpower id want though,\ his friend eli said. \there are so many awesome powers!\
3 jackson flipped through a stack of comic books. \some of these superheroes have supernatural senses. they can hear or see or smell really well. i dont think id want to hear everyone in school all at once. i definitely wouldnt want to smell them! i guess it could be useful to look through walls.\
4 eli frowned. \i like my privacy, so it would seem rude to spy on other people. what about invisibility or flying? if i could turn invisible, i could disappear when its time to do chores. except, my parents would simply make me do the chores as soon as i appeared again. maybe super speed would work better, so i could finish
3 which detail helps explain why jackson decides that having technology is like having a superpower?
a. because it allows jackson to get his chores done quickly
b. because it allows jackson to keep his privacy
c. because it allows jackson to see through walls
d. because it allows jackson to visit with his grandparents from his home
reset next

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The text doesn't mention technology helping Jackson do chores quickly.
• Option B: Privacy is related to Eli's view on superpowers (like invisibility), not technology's relation to superpowers.
• Option C: Seeing through walls is a superpower Jackson mentions, not related to technology.
• Option D: Visiting grandparents from home is a capability technology (like video calls) provides, similar to a superpower's ability to do something extraordinary (connecting over distance as if with a superpower). So this detail explains why technology is like a superpower.

Answer:

D. because it allows Jackson to visit with his grandparents from his home
