Question

Audiobooks by Lexi Marshall Many people enjoy reading books because books have the ability to entertain and inform readers. But lately, audiobooks are becoming more popular, and rightly so, because it is easier to listen to prerecorded books than to read. People prefer audiobooks because they are more convenient for those who do not want to miss out on their reading time. People can easily catch up on their reading while doing other chores. Another benefit is that audiobooks improve a person's vocabulary. If a reader encounters a new word while reading a book, he or she might not know how to pronounce it. However, if a person is listening to an audiobook, he or she can learn to pronounce the word immediately. While a person reading a book can look up the meaning and pronunciation of the new word in a dictionary, hearing the word in an audiobook saves a lot of time. It also improves a person's contextual understanding because one usually understands the meaning of a word based on its context. Another reason for preferring audiobooks is that they do not stress the eyes, making it not only an easier but also a healthier way of enjoying a book. 1 Which statement does the author make to emphasize that audiobooks allow people to multitask?
