Question 5 • British Literature and Composition

Read the passage. (1) I think that schools should switch from using paper textbooks to using computer tablets. (2) Textbooks were effective in the pre-digital age, but now we live in a technology-based society, so schools need to get with the program and adopt a modern approach to learning. (3) In fact, the chair of the Federal Communications Commission said that "it’s time for the next stage” of learning with tablets and pointed out how textbooks are often out of date. (4) Opponents argue that tablets aren’t a good choice because initially they’re very expensive. (5) The secretary of education pointed out that tablets can be updated regularly, which saves money in the long run. (6) Not to mention the pluses of having the latest and greatest info! (7) Many experts agree that switching to tablets is important for the future of education. What is the best revision of sentence 6 to maintain a formal style?

Answer
A
However, kids will also have access to some nice new information.
B
It’s also worth mentioning that students will have access to new info.
C
Moreover, students will benefit from having the most current information.
D
Not to mention that having loads of info is really good for students.

Explanation

Sentence 6 should use formal wording and form a complete sentence. “Moreover, students will benefit from having the most current information” replaces the conversational phrase “Not to mention” and the informal expressions “pluses” and “latest and greatest info.” It also connects smoothly to the previous point about tablets being updated regularly.
