Answer: A

PASSAGE

Cloud computing allows users to access data from anywhere, making physical storage devices like USB drives increasingly ______.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

A. obsolete✓ Correct
B. necessary
C. modern
D. valuable

Detailed Explanation

If data is accessible everywhere via the cloud, carrying physical drives becomes unnecessary or out of date. 'Obsolete' means no longer produced or used; out of date.

Key Evidence:

• "data from anywhere"

• "physical storage"

Why others are wrong: B (Necessary means required, but the cloud replaces them.), C (Modern implies new, but physical drives are older tech compared to cloud.), D (While still useful, the context implies they are being replaced.).
