Valerie is writing about how she feels technology has affected American culture.

Almost everyone considers high-speed Internet service to be an essential part of everyday life. The same can be said for high-definition TVs, digital cable and satellite, and DVDs. New entertainment devices are released every year. We have Blu-ray Discs, high-definition DVDs, game systems, and cell phones. We live in a culture that is focused on technology: who has it, who wants it, and how to get it. People should spend less time in front of their TVs and computers because their personal relationships may suffer, they can have health problems due to a lack of physical activity, and they need to unplug and relax.

Ineed . read the passage, and choose the two (2) inferences that are most firmly based on the given information. although lie detector tests are based on a sound principle, they are not alwaysaccurate. the test is based on the fact that people become emotionally “stirred up”when they lie. the lie detector can sense physical changes that accompany suchemotional responses. but an innocent person may react emotionally to a keyquestion. thus, he or she appears to be lying when actually telling the truth. and criminals who lie often may feel no guilt about anything. they can therefore tell huge lies without showing the slightest emotional ripple on the lie detector. without an emotional response, there are no physical responses to detect. 1. criminals never feel any guilt about their crimes. 2. lie detector tests are not foolproof. 3. anyone can easily fool the lie-detector machine. 4. an emotional response by an innocent person
