Consider the text and its central idea.

Informational Text:

People used to go to a music store to purchase their favorite song. They would drive to the store, select a compact disc (CD) by their artist of choice, and purchase the CD at the cash register.

This method has become so popular that over 50 percent of all music purchases are now done online. Millions of dollars worth of music are purchased on laptops, digital music players, and phones.

b)People listened to and collected CDs (compact discs).

Answer: c)

Explanation:

A) and B) doesn’t support the idea that more people are now listening to music digitally.

That leaves C) and D). C) seems the better choice here because it includes statistics to show how much music is purchased online. In addition, choice D) mentions the internet, but is too broad and doesn’t mention music.
