Question

read these sentences from passage 2.
\the e-reader’s ready access to the internet can be a major distraction. email and youtube aren’t conducive to serious study.\ (paragraph 13)
what is the meaning of the word conducive as it is used in paragraph 13?
① allowable
② favorable
③ popular
④ typical

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "conducive" in the sentence, we analyze the context: e - reader's internet access (email, YouTube) is a distraction for serious study, so these are not "favorable" to serious study. "Allowable" means permitted, "popular" means well - liked, "typical" means usual—none fit as well as "favorable".

Answer:

B. favorable
