I agree with all your answer choices.

Thank You.

YW!! =)

1. The decline in the number of U.S. manufacturing jobs was in part the result of globalization. To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate the options that are not directly related to the decline in manufacturing jobs. Biotechnology and entrepreneurs may have had an impact on certain industries or sectors, but they are not the primary reasons for the decline in manufacturing jobs. Superstations, on the other hand, are not relevant to the question at all. After eliminating these options, we are left with globalization as the most likely answer, as the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs to other countries has been a significant factor in the decline of manufacturing jobs in the U.S.

2. The first modern computer was designed to benefit the military. To arrive at this answer, we can once again eliminate the options that are unlikely to be the purpose behind the design of the first modern computer. While universities, the economy, and corporations may have eventually benefited from the development of computers, the initial motivation behind the first modern computer was to address military needs. The military heavily invested in computer technology for tasks such as calculations, code-breaking, and data processing during World War II.

3. IBM developed the first commercially successful computer. To determine the company that developed the first commercially successful computer, we can evaluate the options given. Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft are well-known technology companies but they did not develop the first commercially successful computer. IBM, on the other hand, developed the IBM 650 Magnetic Drum Data Processing Machine in the 1950s, which was widely considered to be the first commercially successful computer.

4. The Internet is directly responsible for creating a huge database and research tool. To determine the direct responsibility of the Internet, we can analyze the options. While the Internet has undoubtedly impacted many aspects of society, it is primarily known for its ability to connect people and provide access to a vast amount of information. It has facilitated the creation of a huge database and research tool with its ability to store and share information. The other options, such as extending patients' lives and battling diseases, making computers and software affordable, and decreasing the speed of global communications, may have indirectly resulted from the Internet but are not its primary purpose or direct responsibility.
