Answer 1

The statement that most clearly links the evidence and conclusion for an argument about the socially damaging effects of social networks is:

B Social networking sites give people a false sense of connection with strangers while actually hindering their real relationships.

This statement directly addresses the negative effects of social networks by stating both the nature of the false connections they create and the consequential impact on real relationships, which aligns well with the argument about their socially damaging effects.
