The correct answer is C) Words can have many different meanings, and the information age has created many new meanings for words.

With the raise of new technology and new forms of communication, technological terms were invented, giving some existing words a double meaning. This can be confusing for someone that didn't grow up with the internet, and someone from the Internet Age would be confused if you told them that monitor is also a type of lizard.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

In fact, it can lead to a host of unwanted consequences, like building mutual distrust between you and your children.

Which answer is best represented by the highlighted text?.
Schach [20]

Answer:

B. Fact

Explanation:

The highlighted text is a "fact" because it is expressing a statement that is real and is backed by evidence. For example, it states that <em>"water is a basic human right.</em>" This is, indeed, an "objective reality." It also states that<u> only 15% of the residents in the poor villages of Africa have access to drinking water.</u> This is backed by evidence that <em>the nearest drinking water is within a mile. </em>

The statement is<em> not a rhetorical question</em> because it is not asking anything. It is also <em>not a band wagon appea</em>l because it <em>doesn't persuade</em> the reader to do anything or to think about something. It is simply stating a "fact."

So, this explains the answer.
