Question 10 • Language Arts 8 - ELA3008 IC

Which sentence is most negative?

Answer
A
The methods of communication of the 1800s were much worse than they are today.
B
People today have a much easier time communicating with each other than they did in the 1800s.
C
Today, people communicate with faraway friends and family through the convenience of their phones or computers.
D
While people today rely on phones and e-mail, in the 1800s, many people sent carefully handwritten letters to their distant loved ones.

Explanation

Sentence A is the most negative because it directly describes communication methods in the 1800s as “much worse” than they are today. The other sentences emphasize convenience, ease, or the personal quality of handwritten letters rather than using such a strongly negative judgment.
