Options D and F are the options that support the answers in Part A.

Options D and F state that:

  1. "Statistics show that those low-level starting jobs of yesteryear are increasingly performed by robots." ( Paragraph 14)
  2. "But the unstoppable drive to innovate will no doubt bring dramatic changes and new challenges. We need to do all we can to be ready." ( Paragraph 24)

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The text "In opposing Innovation" shows how technological advancement transforms society.
  • This transformation has both beneficial and harmful sides since on the one hand, it makes some jobs obsolete, which increases social inequality.
  • However, on the other hand, technological advancement strengthens society and promotes economic, political, and social benefits.

This advance will change the way work is currently performed, especially in factories, but it is an advance that should be encouraged at all times.

Through questions similar to yours, we can see that part A shows that the central idea of ​​the text is that unskilled jobs in factories will be replaced by machines over time and that although this is a negative effect, the positive effects allow that technological advancement to be continued.
