How does the information in "A Brief History of the Internet" help the reader understand the topic of "Staying in Touch - All the Time"?

• A "A Brief History of the Internet" explains how computers were eventually taught to talk to each other, which is how the social networks discussed in "Staying in Touch - All the Time" work.

• B "A Brief History of the Internet" explains how the Internet got started in the 1960s, and the Internet is a main topic discussed in "Staying in Touch - All the Time."

• C "A Brief History of the Internet" explains how videos and images are sent using the Internet, and those are popular in social networking, which is the topic of "Staying in Touch - All the Time."

• D "A Brief History of the Internet" explains how each website has an address that makes it easy to find which also helps people create a social network, as described in "Staying in Touch -- All the Time."

Answer explanation

The answer is A. Social networks rely on the ability of computers to communicate with each other. Therefore, by discussing how computers were taught to communicate with each other, "A Brief History of the Internet" provides the reader of "Staying in Touch - All the Time" a basis for understanding an important technology that make social networks possible.

B is incorrect. The fact that the Internet got started in the 1960s is true, but the Internet in general is not the topic of "Staying in Touch -- All the Time."

C is incorrect. While it is true that videos and images are popular forms of social media (referenced in the sidebar in "Staying in Touch - All the Time"), "A Brief History of the Internet" does not explain how videos and images can be sent over the Internet, just that it is possible.

D is incorrect. There is no evidence in either passage to support the idea that it is easier to build a social network because things are easy to find online.
