Which paragraph is an accurate and appropriate summary of the two excerpts? A Every member of the narrator's family constantly used some form of electronic gadget, including cell
phones, CD players, and computers. This constant communication with the outside world led to a
decrease in the time that the family actually spent communicating with each other. In an effort to
improve the situation, the narrator's mother began a tradition called Family Night.
B The narrator's mother initiated Family Night when she saw that family members were too wrapped up in
their gadgets to effectively communicate with one another. Family Night did not succeed immediately
but became easier as the weeks passed. Over time, the narrator came to realize the importance of taking
time out from a busy life to enjoy a quiet evening with family.
C After becoming irritated with technology, the narrator's mother began Family Night. Every Monday the
family would spend the entire evening with each other rather than with their technological gadgets. This
routine lasted until summer vacation began, when the children became busy with various commitments.
D The narrator and his family became hooked on computers, cell phones, and CD players. One night the
narrator's mother became upset with the constant interference of technology. She began Family Night,
which worked for a while until the family members went back to their busy lives.
