These days, fewer and fewer traditional incandescent lightbulbs are being used in homes. This is because lightbulb technology has improved since incandescent bulbs were developed. Incandescent bulbs work by running electricity through a wire inside the bulb. The wire glows, creating light. However, incandescent bulbs waste a lot of electricity by producing heat rather than light. In the past several years, less wasteful LED lights and compact fluorescent bulbs have become increasingly popular for home use.

Which option best evaluates how well the following summary reflects the original passage? Incandescent bulbs are a great form of technology.

A. The summary is weak because it does not accurately convey the meaning of the passage.

B. The summary is strong because it states the main idea of the passage and the most important supporting detail.

C. The summary is strong because it gives a good overview of the passage without getting into minor details.

D. The summary is weak because it focuses on a supporting detail rather than the main idea of the passage.​

How is paragraph 2 structured in CGI Is the Future of Movies?
Paragraph 2: When the 1993 movie Jurassic Park was released, CGI was still an unproven technology. Many people weren’t sure it was worth the money. But audiences were amazed by the realistic dinosaurs “interacting” with human actors. Jurassic Park’s enormous success proved that CGI technology could look convincing and earn money. After seeing the dinosaurs, director George Lucas said, “It was like one of those moments in history . . . a major gap had been crossed and things were never going to be the same.” Film critic Tom Shone compared the invention of CGI to the use of sound in movies in 1927. CGI has allowed filmmakers to show Washington, DC, exploding in Independence Day, giant robots battling monsters in Pacific Rim, and an entire alien planet to come to life in Avatar. None of these effects would be convincing, or even possible, without CGI.
