A demand for articles by internet sites that promote consumer products became apparent to the founder of a text-editing software company. The founder decided to supply a solution to the demand, and initiated the development of a feature that could condense and summarize a lengthy article, creating a version that was far less wordy, and more to the point, making it more practical for being published on internet web pages. Although at first welcomed by the managers of the sites, the feature proved to be disadvantageous.

Which of the following, if true, does the most to explain why the founder's solution was unsuccessful?

A The feature was an addition to an existing text-editing program, but one that the company demanded an extra payment for.

B Soon after the feature was released, competing software companies began to develop programs that could perform similar tasks

C People that search for specific information on internet pages always prefer the text to be presented in a form that is easy-to-read and well-organized.

D Text-processing algorithms have a reputation of creating broken results fraught with grammatical errors, but in practice recent models were not shown to be any less effective than human content editors.

E Conciseness is an important characteristic of text that appears on internet pages although marketing pieces rely heavily on descriptive and sometimes elaborate wording

Here, we take a deep look at the various options in the question in order to ascertain which would be suitable for the passage description.


OPTION A - INCORRECT
There is no software development done for the purpose of charity. It needs to be monetized. Every opportunity is seen by capitalists as one to make more money so it's devoid of logic to think the solution was unsuccessful solely because of the extra payment involved.

OPTION B - INCORRECT
Competition is always a welcome development in a bid to drive prices down but an invention like his would have been patented so he could make his money for a long oeriod of time before other companies can begin duplication of it

OPTION C - INCORRECT
Yes, very true that everyone wants a simple, readable pages on the internet space but his decision to develop a software that summarizes the pages has added glamour to the news content rather than mitigate against it.

OPTION D - INCORRECT
Having grammatical errors is a different issue entirely, it makes it better to read a condensed form since it's going to be in a different language and from an informed perspective. This option particularly looks like a strength of the author.

OPTION E - CORRECT
Full descriptive articles are essential for readers. Some needs the full details of an article for instance an article on "public health" summary of this would hide some basic ingredients and facts needed. Most readers needs details and not an abridged version. This is particularly an interesting view.
