the church, like an old biscuit, dirty and inedible. Then I met, or rather got
to know, the lady who threw me my first life line.

I believe you are referring to this text:
<span>In the eighteenth century Josiah Wedgwood had made some of the most expensive stoneware ceramics – in jasper and basalt – in Britain, but this tea set shows that by the 1840s, when Wedgwood produced it, the company was aiming at a much wider market. This is quite clearly mid-range pottery, simple earthenware of a sort that many quite modest British households were then able to afford. But the owners of this particular set must have had serious social aspirations, because all three pieces have been decorated with a drape of lacy hallmarked silver.
From the text, the descriptive detail that best aids the reader to visualize the central topic which is a specific early Victorian tea set is "</span><span>some of the most expensive stoneware</span>".
This question refers to the text The Flight from Conversation by Sherry Turkle
.
Answer:
With this phrase Turkle means that because of technology, we are all alone since every time we share less with people in a physical way and we do it more in a virtual way. But since it's something we all do, she says we're in this together. That's why she uses the phrase <em>"alone together."</em>
Explanation:
These words have a great influence on what the whole article is, since she wants to emphasize that really the vast majority of people are in this situation.
People just want to pay attention to what interests them, ignoring everything that doesn't.
This means that we all get more and more into technology and ignore the people around us, just to communicate virtually.
We are alone, but together at the same time because we remain connected even though we are immersed in technology.
