Answer:

C Excessive Internet and video game usage hasn't been defined as an addiction in an official capacity, but it negatively impacts the lives of those who experience it.

F Our society's dependency on devices makes it difficult to change one's relationship with technology, but health and technology professionals are exploring solutions.

Explanation:

The article, "Screen Addiction Among Teens: Is There Such A Thing? by Anya Kamenetz clearly shows that experts have refused to call excessive usage of phones and other technological devices an 'addiction'. Evidence of this can be seen in the absence of such a diagnostic term in the vocabulary of the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual. Some others believe that it is a very strong word to be used in describing teenagers. An example is Maia Salavitz who believes that it is a 'strong move' to label someone an addict thereby implying that he has a chronic disease.

However, all of these do not rule out the fact that there is an addiction, and technology experts like Zichermann who developed an application to monitor usage, and health professionals who launch campaigns to discourage excessive usage are working hard to curb the [problem.

Analyzing the Importance of Setting
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The two ideas from the setting that influence the way characters act in this passage are:

B. the idea that people should not argue in public

E. the custom of saving women and children first

Explanation:

"A Night to Remember" is a novel by Walter Lord which gives an account of the disastrous first trip of the Titanic. As we know, the ship began its journey toward America but ended up sinking after a tragic collision with an iceberg in 1912.

The fact that the story is set in 1912 is of great importance to understand how and why the characters behave in certain ways. Society at the beginning of the 20th century lived under different, more strict, social rules than it does now. People would, for instance, avoid any sort of disagreement in public, since it was frowned upon. That is represented in the first fragment: "Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Meyer of New York felt so self-conscious arguing about it in public that they went down to their cabin."

It is also important to understand that, in sinking ships, it is a rule to save children and women first. The story being set on a ship explains the second fragment: "When they say ‘Women and children to the boats,’ you must go when your turn comes. I'll stay here with Jack Thayer. We’ll be all right.”

Read the last stanza of Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken.” Why is it significant that the two roads diverged?
dexar [7]

Answer:

A. The speaker is recalling, "with a sigh," how difficult it had been for him to choose the more traveled or the less traveled of the two roads. The forked road is a metaphor for the inherent duality in the natural world.

Explanation:

In this poem, the author talks about life through a metaphor. He describes life as a walk through the forest, in which a person has to decide what path he or she wants to take. The author reflects on the difficulty of making that choice. He also realizes that his life turned out to be a certain way because he chose a certain path. The two paths represent the possible choices people can make in life, and the impact that these have in determining their future.
