Answer:
I wonder if you could disagree. Say the punishment of wearing the scarlet letter is much less barbaric than the stoning that she might have suffered under mosaic law.
Explanation: Adultery destroys the love and trust that form the basis for a happy marriage. It causes the breakdown of families. In previous centuries, stable marriages and families were the basis for communities and civil society. Anyone who caused disruption undermined the common good. The punishment served as a deterrent.
In today's culture of pleasure-seeking and lack of commitment to long-term marriage, it may seem harsh to punish someone for "doing what comes naturally." But look at the consequences. Single parents who can hardly support themselves and their kids. Kids constantly in visitation switches between parents. Unplanned pregnancies and abortions. If adultry were less tolerated, family and community life would be more stable.

Answer: A
The most relevant piece of evidence for this claim is option A. Option A is the only one that specifically describes how our lives have improved due to the exploration of outer space. Option B tells us about changes, but does not state that the changes have been positive. Option C describes exploration, but does not describe how we have benefitted from it. Finally, option D discusses the benefits we might someday experience, but not the ones we already enjoy in the present.
B makes sense, because when you are translating from another language there are often many different words that mean the same thing. Therefore, the translator would get to choose which one to use.
This is not really a structural decision, but it is the only answer which would stay true to the original story. The translator’s job is the change the language. not the whole story. Therefore, A, C, or D can not be correct.
