Explanation
PASSAGE
Virtual reality headsets immerse users in a ______ world, creating the illusion that they are actually inside a computer-generated environment.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question asks for the meaning of a word as used in this specific context. Computer-generated environments are digital. 'Digital' relates to signals or data expressed as series of digits, commonly used for computing. Words can have multiple meanings, and context determines which meaning applies. Read the surrounding sentences carefully. Substitute each answer choice to see which maintains the intended meaning and fits the context. Many vocabulary words have multiple dictionary definitions, but only one fits the context. Use the surrounding sentences as clues. Try substituting each answer choice to see which one preserves the author's intended meaning without changing the sentence's message.
Key Evidence:
• "computer-generated"
• "virtual reality"
Why others are wrong: A (Silent means without sound.), C (Physical implies the real, tangible world.), D (Historical relates to the past.).
