Railroad

The railroad was not the first institution to impose regularity on society or to draw attention to the importance of precise timekeeping. For as long as merchants have set out their wares at daybreak and communal festivities have been celebrated, people have been in rough agreement with their neighbors as the time of day. The value of this tradition is today more apparent than ever. Were it not for public acceptance of a single yardstick of time, social life would be unbearably chaotic: the massive daily transfers of goods, services, and information would proceed in fits and starts; the very fabric of modern society would begin to unravel.

Which of the following most accurately summarizes the opinion of the author in the text?

a) In modern society, we must take more time for our neighbors.b) An accepted way of measuring time is essential for the smooth functioning of the society.c) The traditions of society are timeless.d) Society judges people by the times at which they conduct certain activities.
