The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
This passage is a change in pacing because after the text says "The king cobra instantly turned its head toward me and flared its hood. Was it about to strike?" it suddenly change the continuity of the action and refers to some characteristics of the cobra.
It could have been "foreshadowing" if the text would have continued the original narrative of the preparation for the attack, until describing the attack or not.
However, the text changed in pacing when it wrote: "The interesting thing about the king cobra is that it is the smartest snake on earth. It can see 330 feet, and its venom contains powerful neurotoxins. This new information about the cobra's characteristics changed the narrative.
1. This can lead to spending too much time in the cyber world, and not enough time in the "real" world. This can lead to decreased productivity (for example, not completing homework, or even remembering to eat, in extreme cases).
2. When engaging in a social media relationship, "catfishing" (when someone has a fake profile and pretends to be someone else) is a common occurrence.
3. Something more extreme than catfishing can also occur, often with younger adolescents. While it can be categorized as catfishing, the person behind the profile could be a predator and have plans to abduct the other person.
4. "Real world" relationships may suffer. Social media relationships require a lot of time on the computer/phone, which may take away time from hanging out with friends and family (similar to the first point).
Qualities of a good listener :
1. You don’t get distracted
2. You're sincere and open minded – You don't judge prematurely
3. You ask the right questions
4. You accept other opinions and can dial back your own
5. You don't interrupt
Do I consider myself a good listener:
A. Yes , because when I listen to my friends (or anyone )speak to me i am always willing to listen. I take the time to listen. I don’t interrupt them unless I am trying to ask a question. I am also pretty open minded so I don’t mind if there’s a clash of opinions.This is all why I consider myself a good listener.
B. No, not because I’m not willing to listen but because I can’t focus. I will always try to be there but I can necessarily count myself a good listener. Why? Well for one [ insert reason 1 ] . To add to that I [ add a reason ]. These are why I am not a good listener
