Question 13:

a. Mia: I’m sorry you’re carrying all that, but I can’t take heavy stuff by surprise—can we slow down and maybe talk after dinner?

b. Noah: I needed to vent, so I sent you five voice notes at 2 a.m., and now I feel worse because you left them on read.

c. Mia: I care about you, and I’ll listen, but please ask first; otherwise it turns into trauma dumping and I shut down.

Question 14:

a. Ethan: That sounds like a situationship—if you want clarity, ask what she actually wants, not just what her texts imply.

b. Zoe: She calls me “babe” at night, but in public she says we’re “just friends,” and it’s messing with my head.

c. Ethan: Have you two ever agreed on what you are, or is it just vibes and late-night messages?

d. Zoe: Mostly vibes, and I keep waiting for her to define it, which makes me anxious.

e. Ethan: Then set a calm time to talk, and decide your boundary if she avoids the question again.

Question 15:

Dear Hannah,

How are classes going for you? I’ve been trying to keep a steady routine lately.

a. I used to think I was “busy,” but now I realize I don’t even try to reach out unless something urgent happens.
b. Our group chat still exists, yet it’s mostly memes, and no one follows through when we suggest meeting up.
c. Last weekend I scrolled through old photos and felt weirdly lonely, even though I talk to people online every day.

d. So I started sending small check-ins—one line, no pressure—and a couple of friends replied with real

updates.

e. That made me notice a kind of friendship recession: we have contacts, but fewer true conversations.

Take care,

Best,
Lina

Question 16:

a. Instead of quitting, I stopped volunteering for extra tasks and did only what my job description clearly required.

b. Quiet quitting often starts when effort keeps increasing but recognition, pay, or basic respect stays flat.

c. At my part-time café job, I was praised for “being reliable,” yet I ended up covering shifts and training new staff without notice.

d. That boundary made my stress drop, and my manager finally had to plan schedules properly rather than leaning on guilt.

e. It doesn’t mean someone is lazy; it can be a way to protect mental health when the workplace won’t change.

Question 17:

a. People wanted accountability, but the pile-on turned into threats, doxxing attempts, and brands cutting ties before any facts were checked.

b. Cancel culture moves fast because outrage is shareable, and context rarely fits into a short clip or a screenshot.

c. A classmate was filmed saying something rude, and the ten-second video spread across school pages before anyone asked what happened earlier.

d. If we care about change, we should separate criticism from harassment, listen for patterns, and offer a clear path to repair.

e. After that, I started pausing before reposting, and I ask whether I’m helping someone learn or just joining a digital crowd.
