B. Show an example of the United States' indifference to the plight of the Jews.
Explanation:
This refers to a passage in "The Perils of Indifference" in which Wiesel tells the story of the St. Louis. The St. Louis was a ship that sailed from Europe carrying Jewish refugees, but was denied entry in many countries, including the United States. The ship eventually went back to Europe, and many of the passengers perished during the Holocaust. Wiesel wants us to think of this case and reflect on how this shows the indifference of the United States to the plight of the Jewish people.
You forgot to mention that this question is about the article "The Flight from Conversation".
Answer:
With the use of oxymoron, Turkle meant that we live constantly alone, but always in "contact" with the people we care about through technology. This statement influences the entire article showing how this ability is affecting our personal relationships.
Explanation:
The article shows how technology has enabled an atificial and shallow form of community. This is because technology allows us to talk to anyone, anywhere in the world, however, this communication does not form bonds and we are always alone.
However, we are alone in a collective way, since all people use this same type of communication. This results in the creation of large groups, which in fact do not exist, are not substantial. As the author of the article says, technology makes us come "a tribe of one."

In the Michio Kaku's book, Visions, he states that we are continuing to rush ahead. To prove that, he says “In the past decade more scientific knowledge has been created than in all of human history.” Since we are so advance, we don't need to be observers "of the dance of Nature". We have moved “from being passive observers of Nature to being active choreographers of Nature.” We are no longer discovering, now we are creating. Conserning future predictions Kaku says to listen to "those who create it".
