Question

1. review the third paragraph.period in a text message may convey indifference or insincerity. in other words, people who receive such a message might interpret the ending punctuation to mean that the sender cares less about them or is less genuine. celia klin, an associate professor of psychology at binghamton university, examined these curious texting rules in a study. her team asked college students to read a series of messages that appeared either as a text or a handwritten note. the messages contained simple questions with one-word replies, such as okay, sure, yeah, or yup. surprisingly, students perceived the text replies that did not include punctuation to be more sincere than text replies that had a period at the end. the use of a period in the handwritten responses, however, did not influence how they were viewed. further testing of the same theory by psychologist danielle gunraj confirmed1) select the evidence that the author provides for the following supporting claim: a period following a text can convey insincerity.1) students thought that text replies that didnt contain punctuation were more sincere.students thought that handwritten notes were more sincere than text messages.students thought that one-word replies were more sincere.

Explanation:

The supporting claim is that a period in a text can convey insincerity. The relevant evidence must link periods in texts to lower perceived sincerity. The first option states students viewed text replies without punctuation as more sincere, which directly implies text replies with periods (punctuation) were seen as less sincere, matching the claim. The other options do not connect periods in texts to perceived sincerity.

Answer:

Students thought that text replies that didn't contain punctuation were more sincere.
