SAT English Practice Question

In the late 19th century, the invention of the telephone drastically changed the way people communicated. It allowed people to talk to each other regardless of distance, making communication more efficient and less time-consuming. However, the telephone was not without its limitations. One of the most notable limitations was that telephone calls were often interrupted by static or noise, which could make it difficult to hear the other person clearly. The invention of the telephone was also a major social change. It led to the development of new social customs and etiquette, such as the practice of saying "hello" when answering the phone and the use of a specific ring tone to signal that a call was incoming. As telephones became more commonplace, they began to play a more significant role in people’s lives, and their use has continued to evolve with the development of new technologies.
