Question

which statement could be supported by the authors of both passages? a technology is the best invention in the world man has created. b technology is a major hindrance in how people communicate. c technology is only beneficial when it actually functions properly. d technology offers a plethora of ways to enhance work and community.

Explanation:

To determine the statement supported by both passage authors, we analyze each option:

• Option A: "Best invention" is an extreme claim, unlikely both authors support it.
• Option B: "Major hindrance" implies a negative view; if one passage sees tech positively, this is out.
• Option C: Focuses on functionality for benefit, but we need a common view.
• Option D: "Plethora of ways to enhance work and community" suggests tech's positive impact on work/community, a view both might agree on (assuming passages highlight tech's benefits in these areas).

Answer:

D. Technology offers a plethora of ways to enhance work and community.
