Question

The writer is considering deleting the underlined portion of sentence 1 (reproduced below), adjusting the punctuation as needed.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Keep it, because it uses descriptive language to convey the writer’s perspective on advances in robotics and set up the topic of the passage.

Explanation:

Answer A

Correct. The underlined text uses descriptive adjectives and adverbs to describe today’s robots and the way they interact with humans. This descriptive language helps to convey the writer’s perspective on advances in robotics and also sets up the topic of the passage, which is how humans and robots interact. Therefore, the writer should keep the underlined text.
