About two and a half million years ago, human technology evolved from the first stone tools. The rate of development was slow in the beginning. Hundreds of thousands of years have gone with little to show for it. Today, new technology are featured on television and in newspapers on a daily basis. This paragraph provides the strongest evidence for the claim that
A. Stone tools were not technically advanced.
B. Stone tools have been used for about two million years
C. It's impossible to say when stone tools were first used.
D. New technologies are continually being produced in today's world
Answer:D
About two and a half million years ago, human technology evolved from the first stone tools. The rate of development was slow in the beginning. Hundreds of thousands of years have gone with little to show for it. Today, new technology are featured on television and in newspapers on a daily basis. This paragraph provides the strongest evidence for the claim that
A. Stone tools were not technically advanced. B. Stone tools have been used for about two million years C. It's impossible to say when stone tools were first used. D. New technologies are continually being produced in today's world
Explanation: The last statement mentions that new technologies are published on a daily basis, implying that new technologies are continually being invented. Choice a has no support. In the case of choice b, stone tools were initially used two and a half million years ago, but they were not utilised continuously during that time. Because the passage specifies when stone tools were first used, choice c is clearly incorrect. Although some may agree that option e is correct, the paragraph's author does not endorse this viewpoint.
