Conclusion Technology is radically improving the quality of life in some communities, and not only by direct application of innovations. █████ ████ ███ ███████ ███████████ ████████ ███ █████████ ██ ███ ██████████ ███ ██████ ██████ █ ███████ ████████ ████ ██ ███████ ██████ ███ ████████ ██ ███████████ ████████████ ███ █████████ ████████ ██████ █████ ███ ██ ███ ███ █████ ███ ██████████ ██ ██ ██████ ██████ ██ ████████
Technology is greatly improving quality of life in some communities, and not only due to innovation: the associated design, production, testing, and marketing has revitalized struggling communities. These companies also boost employment and tax revenue, fostering positive morale.
The conclusion explains an effect of technology and expands the causes beyond application: “Technology is radically improving the quality of life in some communities, and not only by direct application of innovations.”

The direct application ██ ███████████ ██ ███ ███ ████ ███ ██ █████ ██████████ ██ █████████ █████████ ███ ███████ ██ ████ ██ ████ ████████████
This rephrases the conclusion.

This is a premise. It supports the conclusion that the direct application of innovations is not the only way technology is improving the quality of life in some communities.

This is a premise. It supports the conclusion that the direct application of innovations is not the only way technology is improving the quality of life in some communities.
Either the creation ██ ███ ██████ ███████████ ██ █████████████ ███████████ ██ █████████ █████████ ███ ███████ ██ ████ ██ ████ ████████████
(D) makes a claim about most communities, but the argument only discusses some communities. This is enough to eliminate (D). Also, the author doesn’t try to isolate only one cause of improvement; she acknowledges multiple.

This is false. The direct application of innovation, the design, production, testing, and marketing of new technology, as well as (E) all contribute to radically improving the quality of life in some communities.
