Question

Which of these modes of transportation would you most likely find in a science fiction story?

Answer 1

The correct answer is spaceships.

The topic of science fiction stories are events that might be years, if not centuries ahead of us. Such stories contain some things that don't exist now, or that are completely different from what they are like in the stories. You can take Star Trek as an example, with various alien races, space ships, the exploration of space, etc.

With this in mind, the correct answer is definitely spaceships. Given that we already have helicopters, boats, horse carts, and cars, there's nothing fictional about those, but spaceships are still an unknown for us.

Answer 2

C. Spaceships

Science fiction is a form of literature that takes place in the future. Now, because it takes place in the future, all content is made up no matter how well or accurately based on current events it may be insomuch that the future seems logical, possible, and probable. The futuristic setting will have a heavy foundation in scientific advances (which is where the name “science fiction” comes from), and the setting will typically be in space or a distant world. As such, it makes the most sense that in a science fiction story, spaceships would be a common mode of transportation.
