While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
<ul> <li>In 1969, the ARPANET sent its first message.</li> <li>The message was "lo" (the system crashed before "login" finished).</li> <li>It was sent between UCLA and the Stanford Research Institute.</li> <li>ARPANET is widely regarded as the precursor to the modern internet.</li> <li>The original network connected only four nodes.</li> </ul> The student wants to emphasize the modest beginnings of what became the internet. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?Which choice most effectively makes the student's point?
- A
The first message was sent from UCLA to Stanford.
- Bcheck_circle
The first ARPANET message in 1969 was 'lo' (the network crashed mid-login) and connected only four original nodes—a humble start to what became the internet.
- C
The system connected four nodes.
- D
ARPANET is the precursor to the modern internet.
Explanation
The goal is modest beginnings. Choice B names the truncated first message, the small node count, and frames them as humble origins. The others give isolated facts.
