Question

In the world of modern technology (A), the inner workings of cutting-edge quantum computers may seem esoteric (B) to most, but the smartphones we use daily have become utterly ubiquitous (C), altering the way we live and connect with the world.

Choose the correct rearrangement of the segments (A, B, C) to form a coherent sentence.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence segments are:
   - (A) In the world of modern technology
   - (B) the inner workings of cutting-edge quantum computers may seem esoteric to most
   - (C) but the smartphones we use daily have become utterly ubiquitous, altering the way we live and connect with the world.

2. The word *esoteric* means something understood by only a few experts, which fits well with quantum computers.

3. The word *ubiquitous* means widespread or found everywhere, which fits well with smartphones.

4. The correct logical and grammatical flow is either:
   - ABC: A introduces the context, B describes quantum computers as esoteric, C contrasts with smartphones being ubiquitous.
   - ACB: A introduces the context, C describes smartphones as ubiquitous, B contrasts with quantum computers as esoteric.

5. Both ABC and ACB are grammatically correct and meaningful.

6. Option (b) states both (c) ABC and (d) ACB are correct, which is the right choice.

**Answer:** (b) Both (c) and (d)
