Question 15 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 11 B

Which line from "Max in the Year 2300" helps to distinguish it as a work of science fiction from a work of fantasy fiction?

Answer

As he lingered over his meal, he glanced at a white square on the pale grey wall.

Immediately, his Poem for the Day, June 28, 2300, appeared on the screen.

In an instant, the poem swirled on the screen and into the folder.

They were not actually original prints, but molecule-by-molecule reproductions.

Explanation

Science fiction often distinguishes itself from fantasy by presenting imagined technologies as if they could be explained by science. The phrase “molecule-by-molecule reproductions” points to a futuristic way of copying prints through technology. The other lines mention a screen or a poem but do not describe a distinctly scientific or technological idea.
