d. Chloe: I had that problem too, so I started putting my phone behind my laptop and using focus mode for thirty minutes.

e. Chloe: What usually happens when you check it?

Question 16:

a. One reason is that online spaces make it easy to react quickly, especially when people see only one short clip or screenshot instead of the full story.

b. Because of that, small disagreements can suddenly become public arguments, and the original issue often gets buried under jokes, side comments, or personal attacks.

c. This is why digital communication needs more pause and more context than many people expect.

d. A growing problem among teenagers is that minor misunderstandings on social media are turning into serious conflicts much faster than before.

e. In real life, tone of voice, facial expression, and timing usually help people correct a misunderstanding early, but those signals are often missing online.

c. Initially, we struggled with limited ideas and uneven participation, but these issues were gradually resolved through clearer roles and open discussion.
