The correct answer is D. Use it to broaden a search to include different forms of the truncated word.

Explanation:

In internet search, the word truncation, also called stemming refers to a search technique in which only the section of a term is written, for example, instead of including the term "create" you only include the first letters of it or the root word which is "creat" or instead of including the term "spacecraft" you include only "space". This is mainly used to broaden the results in a search, because by including only part of a term results will include all possible forms or ending of the term, this means in the case of "creat" results would include the words creation, creative, creat, creature, etc and in the case of "space" this would include results related to space, spacer, spaceship and not only spacecraft. Therefore, the reason for using truncation is mainly to broaden a search to include different forms of the truncated word.

Jacob is writing a two-page paper on the 2008 Olympics for his social studies class. Which of the topics below is the best optio

It really depends on the person and what they think is more important -

A: You could show that the 2008 Olympics was Michael Phelps' "last hurrah" as it were, as he did not do as well in the 2012 games, BUT the paper is on the 2008 games and not Phelps himself

B: The proof of the use of steroids could be used to make a point that perhaps the security needs to be stepped up, or that in the modern world, sport is becoming too unfair as new drugs are invented because people feel the need to cheat for the cash prizes.

C: This is not really an essay topic, but perhaps you could combine it with B as a controversial point.

D:You could use this point as proof that the bar is being raised every year, and that talent is being found everywhere, better talent, even from poorer countries that you wouldn't expect. You could also tie in Jesse Owens.

Personally, I would use B as drugs is a hot topic around the world, but it is ultimately up to Jacob.
