For what is required by the question and the options of answers provided, I assume the underlined word was 'but'. If that's the case, then the best option would be letter B. Both 'however' and 'but' are adversative adverbs, that is, transition words with an adversative implication - They connect two informations that generally contradict one another (like in the example above). The words 'although', 'nonetheless' and 'nevertheless' have the same function, although used in different situations.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The transition word that would best replace the underlined word would be however. It is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or seems to contradict something that has been said previously. Hope this helps.

The passage is smartphones put your privacy at risk

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

C: It shows how people's reliance on smartphones allows for data to be collected about them.

Explanation:

People generally do not willingly give information out so that their smartphone will be more reliant, which eliminates B. People expect their smartphone to be reliant at the start, which allows many sensors to collect data on them. D is not true at all, as invasive apps were never mentioned. A is also false because it never talked about what specific information it collected. Paragraphs 1-4 are mostly about people's reliance on their smartphones, making the answer C.

Answer:

"Sandy and Thomas " is an example of a compound subject. (letter A. compound)

Explanation:

We can define subject as the topic of a sentence - what the sentence is about. For instance, the sentence below has "I" as its subject.

- I drove all day yesterday.

When a sentence has two or more subjects, we have a compound subject. This type of subject is connected by "and" or "or", and it can present commas in case there are more than two subjects. The sentence below has an example of a compound subject:

- Sandy and Thomas have bought their plane tickets.
