Alfredo Maynard · Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Societies around the world now have access to one another's music, art, and ideas

Before telecommunication, it would often take years for ideas from one country to reach another country. Let's take for example, literature, the ideas of Romanticism which started in France and England in the 18th century, only reached numerous other countries in the 19th century, 30-50 years later. This wouldn't happen now due to the fact that the entire world is connected.
