China's social credit system has been compared to Black Mirror, Big Brother and every other dystopian future sci-fi writers can think up. The reality is more complicated — and in some ways, worse.
The idea for social credit came about back in 2007, with projects announced by the government as an opt-in system in 2014. But there's a difference between the official government system and private, corporate versions, though the latter's scoring system that includes shopping habits and friendships is often conflated with the former.
Brits are well accustomed to credit checks: data brokers such as Experian trace the timely manner in which we pay our debts, giving us a score that's used by lenders and mortgage providers. We also have social-style scores, and anyone who has shopped online with eBay has a rating on shipping times and communication, while Uber drivers and passengers both rate each other; if your score falls too far, you're out of luck.
China's social credit system expands that idea to all aspects of life, judging citizens' behaviour and trustworthiness. Caught jaywalking, don't pay a court bill, play your music too loud on the train — you could lose certain rights, such as booking a flight or train ticket. "The idea itself is not a Chinese phenomenon," says Mareike Ohlberg, research associate at the Mercator Institute for China Studies. Nor is the use, and abuse, of aggregated data for analysis of behaviour. "But if [the Chinese system] does come together as envisioned, it would still be something very unique," she says. "It's both unique and part of a global trend."
I think you forgot to add the passage along with the question. I am answering the question based on my knowledge and research. "She is gloomy and depressed" is the one among the following choices given in the question that is how Sally's <span>mood correspond to the setting, as described in the passage.</span>
Answer:
I don't know if you're asking us how difficult it would be or if this is an actual question for a school assignment, but yeah. A lot of communication is conveyed through facial expressions, body language, eye contact, gestures, and more, so to only communicate by talking would be pretty challenging. Luckily, we'd still be able to fluctuate our tone of voice, but having a blank, emotionless face without us being able to move our shoulders or use our hands would take time getting used to.
Answer:
1. I rely on John to take me to school everyday.
2. The beach is in walking distance of my house.
3. We thought there is a chance of raining, but we planned an outdoor wedding.
4. Hunting is posing a threat to the tigers.
5. I wish I could not have bought this shirt.
6. If only Sally contacts us, so we'd know she's okay.

Bob: So, what did you call me up here for?
Jen: I wanted to talk to you about the Jefferson's. I just wanted to let you know that they have been through a lot over the past few days. So, if you could just give them time and let them ease up a bit, then that would be great.
Make sense? Also, hope I helped! I apologize if the answer is wrong.
