Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. The first option shows a comparison of grades at a specific high - school over time, before and after social media became a distraction, which directly links social media to a decline in academic performance.
  2. The fourth option indicates that high - school students are spending more time on social media than on studying and homework, which is a logical reason for a decline in academic performance. The second option is too general about reading articles and not specific to social media's impact on performance. The third option is too broad about social media causing problems in society rather than directly on academic performance. The fifth option shows stagnant test scores, which does not support the claim of a decline.

Answer:

  1. Grades at a specific high school are worse this year than they were 20 years ago, when social media was not a distraction.
  2. High school students are spending more time on social media than they are studying and completing homework.
