4 questions, written answer, each with a worked explanation.
Vocabulary used: context, evidence, interpretation, digital divide, adoption.
Problem 1
Answer and explanation
Identify the inputs, constraints, and distribution of access. Increased output can improve supply while creating costs or dependence for particular producers. Evaluate yield, affordability, land, water, and risk rather than treating one harvest figure as a complete result.
Problem 2
Answer and explanation
Distinguish coverage, connection, effective use, and influence. A map showing network reach is not a census of equal access. Compare costs, reliability, skills, and the needs of particular communities before describing universal connectivity.
Problem 3
Answer and explanation
Trace a claim to its source, inspect purpose and evidence, and compare independent records. Distinguish a factual claim from a value judgment. An unfamiliar author can be correct and a familiar institution can make an error; evaluate the particular claim consistently.
Problem 4
Answer and explanation
State a technology, use, population, and criterion before evaluating it. Increased speed does not automatically establish accuracy, fairness, or wellbeing. Compare alternatives and who can contest decisions rather than treating a system’s technical capability as its social outcome.
