Explanation:

Question 5 (Multiple Choice)

To determine which detail best shows streaming’s impact on daily life, we analyze each option:

• Option A provides specific data (teenagers spending two hours daily on streaming) which directly illustrates how streaming affects daily routines (time spent on it).
• Option B talks about supporters’ views on convenience, which is a benefit but not a direct impact on daily life in terms of measurable change.
• Option C is about critics’ view on excessive screen time, which is a concern but not a direct illustration of impact (like the time spent as in A).
• Option D is about technology evolving, which is not related to daily life impact of streaming.

For a benefit, video streaming platforms offer convenience. People can watch their favorite shows or movies at any time and from any location with an internet connection. This flexibility fits into busy daily lives, like watching a show during a lunch break or while commuting. For a drawback, they can lead to excessive screen time. Since the content is easily accessible, people (especially teenagers as seen in question 5) may spend too much time in front of screens, which can affect physical health (like eye strain, poor posture) and mental health (like reduced social interaction, sleep disturbances).

The author likely uses different types of evidence. They may use statistical evidence, like the data about teenagers’ daily streaming time (as in question 5) to show the impact on daily life. They may also use anecdotal evidence or expert opinions. For example, quoting supporters who talk about the convenience of streaming (e.g., being able to watch on - the - go) and critics who discuss issues like excessive screen time. By presenting these different perspectives and using data, the author supports their points about the nature of video streaming platforms (both good and bad aspects).

Answer:

A) "Recent data shows that teenagers now spend, on average, two hours daily watching streaming videos."
