a. moved somewhere else
b. done differently
c. both of these
d. neither of these

I think it is b.

Which of the following was invented in the last 10 years?
a. text messaging
b. cordless telephones
c. wireless telephones
d. answering machines

I do not know this one.

I vote for 1. d.

Yes, 2. b.

3 is a.

How old is your text? All four of those things have been used for over 10 years.

I had answering machines and cordless phones from the ‘80s until about 2009.
I’ve had wireless (cell) phones from 1996 on.
I’ve been using text messaging since 2002.

Oops -- I don't use texting -- so I didn't catch that. Thanks, Writeacher.

My text didn't mention any of those things, which is why I didn't know which one to put. It's an online course, so it's actually a video lesson, not a written one.

The only correct answer is none of these. I suggest you contact your teacher about this outdated question.

To answer the first question about jobs in pet grooming with the increase in popularity of dogs with long hair, we need to consider the nature of the industry and the demands of the situation.

To get the answer, we can use reasoning skills. When dogs with long hair become popular, it implies that there will be an increase in the number of dogs needing grooming services. This increase in demand for pet grooming services is likely to create more jobs (option a) since there will be a need for more groomers to cater to the growing number of dogs requiring grooming.

On the other hand, doing things differently (option d) is also a possibility. With the rise of new grooming techniques, tools, or technology specifically designed for long-haired dogs, the existing grooming process might evolve or change. This change could involve using different tools or methods, potentially requiring groomers to adapt their skills or learn new techniques.

In conclusion, both options a and d are possible in this scenario. However, if you had to choose only one option, the more likely answer would be a: jobs in pet grooming will be created.

Moving on to the second question about auto mechanic jobs in relation to the increase in electric car purchases:

To get the answer, let's analyze the situation. When people buy more electric cars to stop pollution, it implies a shift towards a cleaner and more sustainable form of transportation. Electric cars have significantly fewer moving parts compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. This means that there might be a reduction in the need for certain types of repairs done by auto mechanics, such as transmission maintenance or spark plug replacements.

However, electric cars still require maintenance and repairs even though the scope and nature of the work might differ from traditional cars. Auto mechanics will still be needed to handle issues related to the electrical system, battery performance, software updates, and other specific electric vehicle components.

Based on this analysis, it is safe to say that auto mechanic jobs will be done differently (option b) since the skills and knowledge required for repairing electric cars differ from those needed for traditional vehicles. However, it is not accurate to say that these jobs will be eliminated or moved somewhere else, as there will still be a demand for maintenance and repairs specific to electric cars, albeit in a modified manner.

Regarding the third question about inventions in the last 10 years:

To determine which invention was made in the last 10 years, we need to compare the options and their respective timelines.

Cordless telephones and answering machines have been in existence for longer than the past 10 years, so we can eliminate options b and d.

Now, we are left with two options: text messaging and wireless telephones.

While wireless telephones (or mobile phones/cell phones) have been around for more than a decade, the concept of text messaging became prevalent in the last 10 years. Therefore, the correct answer is that text messaging (option a) was invented in the last 10 years.

I hope this helps clarify the answers to your questions!
