Question

Which of the following is the BEST evidence to support this response starter from class:
While some may view 1984 as completely fictitious, I believe that our society may be turning into one not dissimilar from that of Winston Smith’s.
Question 1 options:


Crouch writes that in 1984 "love is also a political act, and so it must be destroyed, and Orwell uses its dissolution as final, terrible evidence of the scope of oppression," while in America we are still free to love whom we choose.


Crouch observed that our "technological possibilities of surveillance and data collection and storage surely surpass what Orwell imagined," which at the very least is the "oblong metal plaque like a dulled mirror which formed part of the surface of the right-hand wall," or the telescreens (Orwell Sec. 1 Ch. 1)


While in Room 101, O'Brien tells Winston that "The Party is not interested in the overt act: the thought is all we care about" (Orwell Sec. 3 Ch. 2). Crouch observes that the N.S.A. "is primarily interested in overt acts," most notably those of terrorism.

Answer 1

The correct answer is "Crouch observed that our "technological possibilities of surveillance and data collection and storage surely surpass what Orwell imagined," which at the very least is the "oblong metal plaque like a dulled mirror which formed part of the surface of the right-hand wall," or the telescreens (Orwell Sec. 1 Ch. 1)" This exercept is the best fit to support the idea that Winston Smith was not so far of what is real nowadays when he wrote the novel 1984. Today we have technology that surpass anything that society imagined in the past. When the novel 1984 was written this was science fiction, today is a reality.
