Dear Kevin,

How have you been lately? School has been intense, but I’m coping.

D.  It worked at first, but some friends misunderstood, and I had to explain what I really meant.

e. Now I choose clearer wording in private chats, and I only use those coded phrases when the platform gives no other option.

Take care and write back when you can.

Best,
Anna

Question 17:

A.  Many feeds now contain clusters of “friendly” comments that arrive within the same minute, repeat the same jokes, and ignore the actual question in the post.

D.  Once people start reading comments through that lens, they may treat every reaction as performance, which weakens trust and makes communities easier to abandon.

e. That still does not prove the internet is “dead,” but it explains why some users move toward smaller groups, verify sources more often, and avoid endless threads built to reward noise.
