Answer all questions about the information in a passage on the basis of what isstated or implied in that passage.
Read the following passage:
The railroad was not the first institution to impose regularity on | |
society, or to draw attention to the importance of precise | |
timekeeping. For as long as merchants have set out their wares at | |
Line | daybreak and communal festivities have been celebrated, people |
(5) | have been in rough agreement with their neighbors as to the time of |
day. The value of this tradition is today more apparent than ever. | |
Were it not for public acceptance of a single yardstick of time, | |
social life would be unbearably chaotic: the massive daily transfers | |
of goods, services, and information would proceed in fits and | |
(10) | starts; the very fabric of modern society would begin to unravel. |
