INTEGRATING PUBLIC AND ONLINE SPACES

COVID-19 has forced us 21.1 social distancing, isolation, and quarantine. These conditions are fostering 21.2 anxiety and loneliness in our cities. However, COVID-19 is an opportunity to build on 21.3 we know and to learn from this situation. It's possible to promote social and emotional well-being. Integrating public and online spaces is one of approaches for building better communities. Our new online communication skills can help us develop a better physical-digital interface for 21.4 people together. Video conferencing is flexible and can enable long-distance connections and "work from home" hubs. 21.5, social media platforms, such as Facebook, Meetup, WhatsApp or art-based apps like Somebody, are 21.6 for organizing physical meetings. These can help with community volunteering, socializing, or simply sharing guerrilla-garden herbs for local cooking. A better physical-digital interface could help new jobs flourish in "interactive" creative industries that virtually connect 21.7 isolated individual. New art spaces could be established, putting connective digital infrastructure, such as audio-visual platforms, within physical spaces to help face-to-face and virtual audiences interact.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

In addition to the great ridges and volcanic chains, the oceans conceal another form of undersea mountains: the strange guyot, or flat-topped seamount. No marine geologist even suspected the existence of these isolated mountains until they were discovered by geologist Harry H. Hess in 1946. He was serving at the time as naval officer on a ship equipped with a fathometer. Hess named these truncated peaks for the nineteenth-century Swiss-born geologist Arnold Guyot, who had served on the faculty of Princeton University for thirty years. Since then, hundreds of guyots have been discovered in every ocean but the Arctic. Like offshore canyons, guyots present a challenge to oceanographic theory. They are believed to be extinct volcanoes. Their flat tops indicate that they once stood above or just below the surface, where the action of waves leveled off their peaks. Yet today, by definition, their summits are at least 600 feet below the surface, and some are as deep as 8,200 feet. Most lie between 3,200 feet and 6,500 feet. Their tops are not really flat but slope upward to a low pinnacle at the center. Dredging from the tops of guyots has recovered basalt and coral rubble, and that would be expected from the eroded tops of what were once islands. Some of this material is over 80 million years old. Geologists think the drowning of the guyots involved two processes: The great weight of the volcanic mountains depressed the sea floor beneath them, and the level of the sea rose a number of times, especially when the last Ice Age ended, some 8,000 to 11,000 years ago.

What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage?

To trace the career of Arnold Guyot

To discuss underwater ridges and volcano chains
