Read and understand · 1/3Which development decision is confirmed by the announcements? The game has been completed Development will move to the Edmonton workplace Early development will stop

Read the answer and explanation

Early development will stop. The announcements describe ending work on the next project, not completing it or continuing at Edmonton.

Clue: An October 21 announcement from EA confirms that a small BioWare team had been developing the next Mass Effect project. EA has decided not to proceed, resulting in the studio’s closure.

Read and understand · 2/3Which response to the closure is explicitly described? Taking away players’ older games Opening a new Edmonton studio Supporting its employees

Read the answer and explanation

Supporting its employees. Support for the team is stated. The other actions are not announced.

Clue: BioWare separately thanked players and emphasized support for its employees. The decision ends the announced development project; neither statement says that previously released games are being withdrawn.

Read and understand · 3/3Which conclusion is not supported by the closure statements? Previously released games are being withdrawn Work on the announced new project is ending BioWare is supporting affected employees

Read the answer and explanation

Previously released games are being withdrawn. A studio closure and the end of a development project do not establish that released games are being withdrawn.

Your turn

Write a headline that reports the closure without claiming that players will lose access to old games.
