Question

The Digital Divide can be understood as

• A. The feasibility of different groups' use of technology.
• B. The connection between local and global technology.
• C. The ability to divide the use of different technology.
• D. The ability to use different languages in technology.

Hint:

A divide is a gap in access between groups.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
The passage ends with the point that people from different sections of society differ sharply in how easily they can use mass media. The digital divide is the same idea applied to technology: unequal access and use between groups.

Step 2: Check option (A).
This says that different groups differ in how feasible it is for them to use technology. It matches the idea of unequal access between groups. So (A) is CORRECT.

Step 3: Check option (B).
A link between local and global technology is about connectivity, not about unequal access between groups. So (B) is WRONG.

Step 4: Check option (C).
The ability to divide the use of technology is a meaningless twist of the word divide. So (C) is WRONG.

Step 5: Check option (D).
Language use in technology is only one small matter and does not define the divide. So (D) is WRONG.

Final Answer:
The digital divide is the unequal feasibility of technology use among groups, option 1.
