Identify the option that displays the headline/s that DOES/ DO NOT correspond with occurrences in the passage.
Answer:
So, the correct answer is (b) (c) and (d)
Step-by-Step explanation by Teachoo:
To find the option that displays the headline/s that do not correspond with occurrences in the passage, we need to look at each headline and see if it matches or does not match the passage. We can also eliminate the options that display the headline/s that do correspond with occurrences in the passage.✅
- Headline (a) corresponds with occurrences in the passage because it describes Marvin, the Paranoid Android, who is a depressed robot that witnesses humanity's journey through space. He is introduced at the end of the passage and talks to Arthur.❌
- Headline (b) corresponds with occurrences in the passage because it describes the main theme and tone of the novel , which is a comical take on the end of the world and hitchhiking through space. The passage shows how Arthur and Ford escape from Earth's destruction and hitch a ride on a spaceship.❌
- Headline (c) does not correspond with occurrences in the passage because it suggests that there is a new study that finds aliens living among humans on Earth, which is not mentioned or implied in the passage. The passage only shows aliens living in space, such as Ford and the mice.✅
- Headline (d) does not correspond with occurrences in the passage because it suggests that there is a groundbreaking technology that will soon enable time travel, which is not mentioned or implied in the passage. The passage only shows a technology that enables intergalactic travel, which is the infinite improbability drive.✅
- Headline (e) corresponds with occurrences in the passage because it describes the technology that enables intergalactic travel, which is the infinite improbability drive. The passage mentions this technology and how it powers the Heart of Gold spaceship.❌
Therefore, the option that displays the headline/s that do not correspond with occurrences in the passage is B. (b) (c) and (d), because these are the headlines that do not match or relate to the events or details in the passage.👏
