Question

Which one of the following statements best captures the sense of the first paragraph?

• A. The X-Men were mutant heroes who now had to battle tiny robots called Nano-Sentinels.
• B. People who were infected by Nano-Sentinel robots became mutants who were called X-Men.
• C. Tiny sentinels called X-Men infected people, turning them into mutant robot overlords.
• D. None of the options listed here.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To determine which statement best captures the sense of the first paragraph, we must interpret the text. The passage begins by mentioning an event in the New X-Men comics where mutant heroes face a new threat called Nano-Sentinels. These tiny robots are described as invading human bodies at a microscopic level, converting humans into part machines. From this information, we deduce:

• Relevant Details: X-Men are mutant heroes; they encounter "tiny robots" called Nano-Sentinels, which invade and convert humans.

Now, let's evaluate the options:

1. The X-Men were mutant heroes who now had to battle tiny robots called Nano-Sentinels.
   Analysis: This aligns perfectly with the paragraph, as it describes the X-Men as heroes who confront Nano-Sentinels.
2. People who were infected by Nano-Sentinel robots became mutants who were called X-Men.
   Analysis: Incorrect. The Nano-Sentinels convert humans to part machines, not mutants or X-Men.
3. Tiny sentinels called X-Men infected people, turning them into mutant robot overlords.
   Analysis: Incorrect. The X-Men are heroes, not the infecting sentinels.
4. None of the options listed here.
   Analysis: Since option 1 is accurate, this is incorrect.

Conclusively, the correct answer is: The X-Men were mutant heroes who now had to battle tiny robots called Nano-Sentinels.
