Read the excerpt from "Benin Plaque: The Oba with Europeans." These were enormous and belief-shattering ideas for many people in the nineteenth century, but time was also changing in a much more day-to-day, or rather hour-to-hour, way. Thanks to clockmakers like Earnshaw, precise and reliable clocks and watches became ever more affordable. Before long the whole of Britain was running by the clock, and the measurement of time had been severed from the natural cycle of days and seasons. The clock ruled every aspect of life – shops and schools, pleasure and work. As Charles Dickens wrote, ‘There was even railway time observed in clocks, as if the sun itself had given in.’ Which central idea is best supported by the details in the excerpt

This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:

Which central idea is best supported by the details in the  excerpt?  

A. The invention of affordable timepieces led many to  become clockmakers.  

B. People in Britain began wearing watches as a fashion  accessory  

C. As more people began to own clocks, society  embraced standardized time.  

D. Many people in Britain voiced a preference for the   natural cycle of days.

The central idea which is best supported by the details in the  excerpt is:

C. As more people began to own clocks, society  embraced standardized time.

Explanation:

According to the excerpt, in the nineteenth century, every aspect of life began to obey the clock, so to speak. As people began to use clocks more and more, they also began to divide their days and activities according to time as shown in the clocks. Now, instead of being naturally ruled by seasons or days, people were ruled by hours, minutes, and seconds. It is something we are used to nowadays, but we must keep in mind it was quite a revolution for people a couple of centuries ago.
