Question

use \living alone is the new norm\ and \will wi - fi ruin mount everest?\ to answer the following question.
which statement do both articles support?
a life was better before the internet.
b change is inevitable.
c most people dislike change.
d technology should be embraced.

Explanation:

• Option A: “Life was better before the Internet” – The article “Living Alone Is the New Norm” likely focuses on social trends (living alone) rather than a comparison of life before/after the Internet, so this is not supported by both.
• Option B: “Change is inevitable” – “Living Alone Is the New Norm” shows a social change (more people living alone becoming common), and “Will Wi - Fi Ruin Mount Everest?” deals with technological change (Wi - Fi on Everest) as an ongoing development. Both articles illustrate that change (social or technological) is happening and unavoidable.
• Option C: “Most people dislike change” – There's no indication in either article that most people dislike change; the articles focus on the occurrence of change, not people's attitudes toward it.
• Option D: “Technology should be embraced” – “Will Wi - Fi Ruin Mount Everest?” presents a more nuanced view of technological change (questioning if it will ruin Everest), not a clear call to embrace technology, and “Living Alone Is the New Norm” isn't about technology embracement.

Answer:

B. Change is inevitable.
