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.
Part I
"A strange multiplicity of
sensations seized me, and I saw, felt, heard, and smelt, at the same time.
"
This part of the excerpt shows that the speaker is experiencing impulses of a newborn who is just starting to be aware of his senses.
Part II
"I knew, and could distinguish, nothing."
This reflects innocence and lack of experience or knowledge.
Part III
"Sometimes I wished to express my sensations
in my own mode, but the uncouth and inarticulate sounds which broke from me
frightened me into silence again.'
This mirrors a baby's innocence and puerile attempt to express feelings.
"A hospital alone shows what war is."
This sentence lets the reader be witness of the war cruelty and its consequences regarding human casualties. While being at hospitals you become aware of the war atrocities. It helps us to reflect that any war leads societies to suffering from death and destruction. No matter what the victims' race, sex, origin or religion are, what should be really important is that human beings are being devastated for those acts of cruelty, despotism and barbarism.
The answer is B, "A spur of the moment dance performed for a small group of people."
