Question 3
Read this paragraph about social media:

Social media platforms have transformed how teenagers interact with each other. According to a recent survey, 95% of teens have access to smartphones, and 45% report being online "almost constantly." While social media allows teens to maintain connections with friends and family, some studies suggest excessive use may contribute to increased anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation. However, other research indicates that how teens use social media matters more than how much time they spend on it. Actively engaging with others online may have different effects than passively scrolling through content.
