Question

Which sentence from the text INDICATES that this text did not take place in recent times? (2 Points) Family was important to Cecelia, especially since the move to the United States from Germany. On an afternoon in December, Cecelia's family huddled around the loyal old RCA radio to listen to the Benny Goodman orchestra: a weekly Sunday ritual. She kept thinking about her home in Germany and how she and her brother used to play "Polizei and Räuber" or "Cops and Robbers." On more than one occasion, she was called a "model citizen" and an "exemplary role model for other young girls."

Answer 1

The sentence from the text that indicates this text did not take place in recent times is:

On an afternoon in December, Cecelia's family huddled around the loyal old RCA radio to listen to the Benny Goodman orchestra: a weekly Sunday ritual.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence above indicates that this text most likely takes place in the 1950's or so. Back then, it was common for families in America to have the ritual of gathering around their radios. That is, of course, almost inconceivable today. Radios have not been the main electronic device for entertainment for many decades now. They were quickly substituted by the television.
