Question 7 • FL-1001420-AP English Language and Composition Sem 1 - Flex

Which sentence provides commentary that helps explain why technology has not expanded knowledge?

Answer

“Technology will increase human intelligence only if we use it to expand our connection to the world.”

“Instead of expanding our connection to the world, we’ve only expanded our connection to ourselves.”

“Appropriate use of social media exposes people to ‘a lot of new, useful things to think about—serendipitous stories, insights from others.’”

“New technologies, particularly the Internet, have the power to make us smarter if we use them to broaden our worldview and engage with complex materials, but moderate the time spent on them.”

“Because the Internet has changed how we research and find information, technology can either increase access to interesting and complex materials or restrict our intake to simplistic information bites.”

Explanation

The question asks for a sentence that explains why technology has not expanded knowledge. Choice B says that instead of connecting us to the wider world, technology has mainly connected us to ourselves, which gives a reason knowledge has not grown. The other choices describe conditions for technology to help or ways it can be used, rather than directly explaining the problem.
