1 answer

To determine the best description of the author's overall purpose, we would need more context about the article. However, based on the options provided, the most suitable choice appears to be:

B. to encourage readers to set aside social media and live in the moment.

This option suggests a broader theme of being present and engaged in real-life experiences rather than being distracted by technology, which aligns with a common purpose in articles that critique social media use. If further context from the article indicates a different focus, the correct answer may vary.
