I have found this question online. The answer options are the following:
A. "What's more, viewing posts with a lot of likes activates the reward system in our brain. It also can lower the viewer's self control. And posts related to alcohol may encourage teens to drink." (Paragraph 3)
B. "Positive responses to a teen's own photos... tell teens that their friends appreciate the material they's posting." (Paragraph 12)
C. "Teens should keep in mind, Glenski cautions, that just because a post is popular doesn't mean it is a quality post." (Paragraph 21)
D. "More posts about alcohol appeared on Ins.tagr.am and Sn.apch.at than on F.aceb.ook. Boyle suspects that this is because fewer parents, professors and other older adults use Ins.tagr.am and Sn.apch.at." ( Paragraph 28)
Answer:
The detail from the text which best supports the answer to Part A is:
A. "What's more, viewing posts with a lot of likes activates the reward system in our brain. It also can lower the viewer's self control. And posts related to alcohol may encourage teens to drink." (Paragraph 3)
Explanation:
This question concerns the article "The Power of Like" by Alison Pearce Stevens. Part A asks us what the central idea of the article is. Stevens discusses as the central idea how receiving likes on social media has the power to impact the behavior of teenagers.
According to the article, a popular post, for instance, creates this ideal of what is cool, of what should be done. If posts with alcohol are popular, they may influence teens to drink. However, the most direct impact comes from the likes teens receive in their own posts. It is a simple action that ends up activating the reward system in their brains.
NOTE: I had to type the names of the social media sites and apps with dots in them otherwise Brainly wouldn't let me post this answer.
