Thanks a lot!!
You're very welcome.
To determine the most appropriate answer, let's break down the logic based on the information given.
The statement says that the number of cellular telephones has increased dramatically in each of the past few years. Based on this information alone, we can reasonably infer that there has been a consistent increase in the number of cellphones over time.
Therefore, the conclusion that "there will be even more of them in use this coming year" seems logical. However, it's important to note that we cannot be absolutely certain about the future, as there could be unforeseen factors that might affect the trend.
Given these considerations, the most appropriate answer would indeed be (b) probably true. This is because there is evidence of an increasing trend, but we cannot guarantee it with absolute certainty.
