Flying cars, human-like robots, interplanetary travel, time travel, and contact with alien life are all fairly normal for science-fiction stories. For this reason, science fiction is usually regarded as an escape from reality and is generally considered to deal with subjects that are far removed from the real issues with which we deal on Earth in 2010.However, I think this line of thinking misses the entire point of science fiction namely, that these stories portray the potential of humanity under almost any imaginable situation. There have been many stories about astronauts trying to destroy an asteroid that is headed straight for Earth or about scientists planning to colonize another planet because Earths resources are disappearing. Books and movies about these subjects are often seen as escapist entertainment, and nothing more. However, it is very likely that, one day, an asteroid will be headed straight for Earth. It is also a fact that, eventually, humans will use up all of Earths resources. When that happens, we will need to think of an alternative plan for survival. When viewed in this light, these stories dont seem so far-fetched.Another reason that science-fiction stories are seen as far removed from our lives is because of the incredibly advanced technology. Think about it, though. Science-fiction stories have been around since the 19th century. The advanced technology that amazed readers back then has most become reality things like airplanes, hands-free telephones, and computers. Whos to say that the unbelievable technology in todays stories wont be tomorrows reality?Of course science fiction is still fiction. The stories arent true and they are a wonderful way for people to let their imaginations run wild. However, history has clearly shown that science fiction has a wonderful ability to come true. We just need a bit of patience and let science catch up to science fiction.41)This style of writing would best be described as _.A. narrativeB. argumentativeC. descriptiveD. expository42)Which of the following best sums up the authors main point?A.
