Question

which statement from the article above best supports the idea that social networking sites can be impersonal?
a. \how many times have you sent someone a headnovel message because you didnt want to pick up the phone to call them?\

b. \many say that people are forgoing personal relationships because of their preoccupation with sites like headnovel and mydisgrace.\

c. \its great to be able to keep in contact with so many people with the click on the button.\

d. \between cell phones, email accounts, and blogs, i guess ill find out who my true friends are.\

Explanation:

To determine which statement supports the idea that social networking sites can be impersonal, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Asking about the number of times a Headnovel message was sent (instead of calling) implies a less personal form of communication, as calling is more personal. This shows the impersonal nature of using such sites (sending messages instead of direct calls).
• Option B: Talks about people forgetting relationships due to preoccupation with sites, but this is about neglecting relationships, not the impersonal nature of the sites themselves.
• Option C: Expresses a positive view of keeping in contact easily, which doesn't support impersonality.
• Option D: Talks about finding true friends through various platforms, which is more about connection rather than impersonality.

So, Option A best supports the idea of social networking sites being impersonal.

Answer:

A. "How many times have you sent someone a Headnovel message because you didn't want to pick up the phone to call them?"
