Question

1. part b: which quote from the text best supports the answer to part a?

a. \but ive been forced by data to accept that its a problem, he told me when i interviewed him for my book the art of screen time.\ (paragraph 13)
b. \i played because i found it fun, but after a while i played mostly because i preferred it over socializing and confronting my problems.\ (paragraph 21)
c. \video games or social media may be avoidable, but most students need to use computers for school assignments, build tech skills for the workplace, and learn to combat distraction and procrastination as part of growing up.\ (paragraph 29)
d. \there was a moment i realized that things had gone too far. he was in a restaurant and looked around and saw literally everyone was looking at their phones.\ (paragraph 35)

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to analyze each option in the context of the question (which is about supporting a previous answer in Part A, likely related to screen - related issues or digital behaviors).

Option A:

This quote is about accepting that a problem (related to screen time) exists. But it doesn't directly support a common theme of screen - related issues in a way that shows the pervasiveness or a widespread issue.

Option B:

The quote here is about the personal experience of playing something (likely a screen - based activity) and preferring it over socializing. It is more about personal preference rather than a broader issue related to screens.

Option C:

This quote is about the necessity of using computers for school and work, which is about the functional use of technology, not about the problem - related aspect that Part A is likely addressing.

Option D:

The quote “there was a moment I realized that things had gone too far. He was in a restaurant and looked around and saw literally everyone was looking at their phones.” shows the widespread nature of phone (screen - related) usage, which can support an answer in Part A that is related to the pervasiveness or a common issue with screen time/phone usage.

To determine the correct option, we analyze each choice. Option D shows the widespread use of phones (screen - related) in a restaurant, supporting a likely theme in Part A about screen - related issues. Other options focus on personal acceptance, personal preference, or functional tech use, not the widespread nature of screen usage.

Answer:

D. "there was a moment I realized that things had gone too far. He was in a restaurant and looked around and saw literally everyone was looking at their phones." (Paragraph 35)
