Modern means of communication and transportation have made the pace of life faster. The faster pace of life gives us a sense of impermanence and instability. These emotions make us feel as if we never have enough time to achieve what we want, or what we think we want.

Technological changes can result in changing the way people feel about life.

This answer is unsupported. We don’t know whether or not it's actually difficult for people to achieve their goals in modern life, just that people feel that it's difficult.

This answer is unsupported. We don’t know from the stimulus what the advantages are from technological progress. It could be that they vastly outweigh the disadvantages.

This answer is strongly supported. This answer correctly states a causal relationship that the stimulus draws, where improved technology changes the way people feel.

This answer is unsupported. Although the author hints that people may not know what they want, we don't know whether or not this is actually true. We also don't know if people are less able to know what they want than in previous times.

This answer is unsupported. This answer gets the causal relationship in the stimulus reversed. Rather, it’s technological advancement that fuels the changes in people’s feelings.
