Answer:

cognitive dissonance

Explanation:

Cognitive dissonance is the state of an individual where he or she develops conflicting beliefs, attitudes or behavior. When an individual's belief starts clashing with the new facts, they tend to resolve the contradiction to reduces their discomfort. For example, when people start to eat more junk food or adapt to an unhealthy lifestyle (behavior) and it leads to obesity( cognition), they are in a state of cognitive dissonance.

1. doesn't do OR does not do

In this case your verb phrase needs to agree with the subject phone. It is singular so the verb phrase must be singular as well. You can either use the contraction doesn't or it can be written out: does not.

2. had

Have needs to be in past tense. The friends are wishing they already (past tense) had the smartphones. They wanted it yesterday, not now, not in the future.

3. best

In this sentence she is saying choosing the one things that is at the top of the list of things about a smartphone. Since there is definitely more than 2 items on the list, best should be used.

4. are used

This needs a helping verb and the correct form of use.

5. children

In this sentence, the author is talking about more than one child. The plural form of child is children.

6. first

An ordinal number is needed her since the author is saying that her Nokia is her first one.

7. me

Fly needs to be in past tense since the action happened yesterday.

9. would be

This needs the conditional helping verb would in order to make sense.
