Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #4385 Web 2.0
Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
Web 2.0 is a key development in online interaction because it has radically changed people's roles, attitudes and involvement on the Internet, changing them from being simply consumers of content to become contributors as well. With large technological companies introducing cheaper and more mobile devices, non-expert users can now express themselves through photos, videos, podcasts, blogs and comments uploaded to sites accessible to vast numbers of people all over the world. To some extent, this shift has made web content more democratic, representing more perspectives than ever before; however, in reality, the majority of web content is still created by a very small percentage of the total global population.

Option 1: "Online communication is becoming more difficult."

Explanation: This option contradicts the text, which states that Web 2.0 has changed people's roles and involvement on the Internet, suggesting that communication has become easier and more interactive rather than difficult.

Option 2: "Online content is no longer being produced by large companies."

Explanation: The text does not state that large companies have stopped producing online content. Instead, it highlights that non-expert users can now contribute alongside existing content from large companies, indicating a coexistence rather than a complete shift.

Option 3: "It is becoming harder to find high-quality online content."

Explanation: This option misinterprets the text. While the text mentions that most content is created by a small percentage of the population, it does not imply that finding high-quality content is harder; rather, it suggests a diversification of perspectives.
