Question 13:

a. Ben: Isn’t that risky, though? If it always agrees, you might avoid real conversations.

b. Mia: My cousin has an AI “girlfriend” app, and he talks to it when he feels stressed after school.

c. Mia: Maybe it can be a practice space, but he should still meet friends and not treat the bot like a real person.

Question 14:

a. Ryan: That’s rage bait. It’s designed to annoy you so you comment, share, and stay on the app longer.

b. Ella: I know, and it ruins my mood. How can I stop falling for it without deleting everything?

c. Ryan: Try a “two-breath rule” before reacting, mute the worst accounts, and follow creators who explain instead of provoking.

d. Ella: You look furious—what are you watching? You’ve replayed the same clip three times.

e. Ella: Okay, I’ll do that and also turn off autoplay, so I don’t slide into another argument thread.

Question 15:

Dear Kevin,

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

a. In a weird way, that taught me to focus on meaning, not just trendy keywords.

b. I noticed my posts got fewer views when I used certain direct words, even though the message was harmless.

c. So I started using “algospeak,” like saying “unalive” or adding symbols, to avoid automatic filters.

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 16:

a. Because of that, I now delete duplicates, label folders by month, and keep one “maybe later” box that I review on Sundays.

b. Digital hoarding looks harmless, but saving every screenshot and file can quietly steal your time and attention.

c. Last week I spent twenty minutes searching for one homework PDF because it was buried under memes, old tickets, and five versions of the same photo.

d. The mess made me anxious, and I kept downloading “just in case” instead of finishing what I was doing.
e. Once the clutter shrank, finding things felt easier, and my phone stopped feeling like a noisy drawer I never wanted to open.

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.

b. In that environment, the dead internet theory can feel tempting, because copy-paste accounts create the sense that real discussion has been replaced by scripts.

c. One simple way to check the pattern is to reply with a very specific detail, since automated or low-effort accounts often answer with vague lines that fit any topic.

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.
