Mainframe computing was the cornerstone of computing and was used for all sorts of tasks from military control to word processing. It had proven to be cost-effective, efficient, and fit for most tasks. However, 20 years back, personal computing took the computing world by storm and has now replaced mainframe computing in all walks of life, enjoying the same success that mainframe computing once did.
Based on the sequence of events above, which of the following can be properly concluded?
A. Technological innovations have a history of disrupting dominant market force and replacing it with the next wave.
B. Every computing technology, however successful and cost-effective, will eventually be disrupted
C. It is not necessary that a computing technology that has been a dominant force in one era will continue to dominate the computing landscape forever.
D. A dominant technology has a higher chance of being disrupted than a technology that is not as dominant.
E. In the technology world, if an emerging technology is to gain a foothold, it must disrupt a dominant technology.

This is inference type question. And in inference question avoid infering extreme and infer as less as you can.
A. Technological innovations have a history of disrupting dominant market force and replacing it with the next wave.
B. Every computing technology, however successful and cost-effective, will eventually be disrupted. This is wrong because of same reason: Juts because of two events that are Mainframe computing disrupted computing and personal computing disrupted Mainframe computing, we can not infer Technological innovations have a history of disrupting. This is extreme inference.
C. It is not necessary that a computing technology that has been a dominant force in one era will continue to dominate the computing landscape forever. This i perfect. A very simple and logical inference. Notice the word used in this option not necessary , not extreme.
D. A dominant technology has a higher chance of being disrupted than a technology that is not as dominant. Nowhere it is discused about technology that is not as dominant. So wrong.
E. In the technology world, if an emerging technology is to gain a foothold, it must disrupt a dominant technology. This is wrong because of same reason: Juts because of two events that are Mainframe computing disrupted computing and personal computing disrupted Mainframe computing, we can not infer Technological innovations have a history of disrupting. This is extreme inference.

A. generalized statement. The passage only talks about one innovation replacing another innovation, but this statement gives a generalized conclusion merely based on the two innovations.
B. generalized statement.
C. correct.
D. generalized statement.
E. generalized statement.
