Question

while researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: • the horizon lecture series was established at northbridge university in 1995. • each lecture features a visiting scholar from a different academic discipline. • attendance records show average audiences of 600 people per event. • in 2018, recordings of the lectures were made freely available online. • the series was designed to promote interdisciplinary dialogue. the student wants to explain an advantage of the lecture series format. which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal? a the series expands access to interdisciplinary ideas through diverse speakers and online recordings. b the horizon lecture series began at northbridge university in 1995 and continues to host visiting scholars. c average attendance at horizon lecture series events has remained around 600 people. d recordings of the horizon lectures were made available online starting in 2018.

Explanation:

To determine the best choice, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The notes state the series promotes interdisciplinary dialogue (via different academic discipline speakers) and made recordings free online (expanding access). This explains an advantage (access to interdisciplinary ideas) using relevant info.
• Option B: Only states the start year and hosting scholars, not an advantage.
• Option C: Just mentions attendance, not an advantage of the format.
• Option D: Only about when recordings were online, not an advantage of the lecture series format.

Answer:

A. The series expands access to interdisciplinary ideas through diverse speakers and online recordings.
