Question #N71
The author presents the idea that despite the technological advancement in the United States, the use of technology is not a panacea. "The problem is not a lack of technology. It's that we’ve always had technology, but we’ve never been good at thinking about what it actually means to be human and how technology can serve those ends." The author believes that technology is merely a tool, and it is up to humans to decide how to use it.
Which statement best reflects the author's argument?
A. Technology can only solve a problem if it is used correctly.

C. Technology is a necessary evil that is used to solve problems.
D. Technology is a new problem for humans to solve.
Correct Answer is: B
The author argues that technology is not a cure-all. It is a tool and its use depends on human choices, which could lead to both benefits and drawbacks. Therefore, the best answer is: Technology can be a powerful tool, but it is not a solution to all problems.
