Author's Point of View: Video games can help teens become more social.

Part 2 of the "Social Gaming" Section:
Most teens play video games by themselves some of the time, but gaming is far from being just an independent activity.In a 2008 PEW research study of teenagers ages 12-17 only one quarter of the teens played video games alone all the time.Of the teens who played with others,65 percent reported playing games with people in the same room with them.The other 25 percent played with people through an internet connection, and these other players were mostly people the teens knew.

A: Video games should teach teens more about responsibility and cooperation.

B: Video games isolate teenagers from the outside world.

C: Teenagers and play video games are socially awkward.

D: Playing video games is not just an independent activity.

​

Answer 1

C. Teenagers that play video games are socially awkward.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer choices A and D agree with the author's points in the passage. Answer choice B is part of the concession the author makes as a writing technique, but answer choice C clearly goes against the message the author is conveying in the passage. The overall point the author is trying to get across is that video games actually make people more social, which is exactly the opposite of answer choice C and therefore they conflict with each other. Thus, C. Teenagers that play video games are socially awkward. is the answer.

Answer 2

C
explanation: the authors point of view is showing how playing video games makes teens more social, exemplifying the fact that the majority of teens play with other people. because it’s asking which one conflicts with the author, option C would be the best choice over option B because this one actually states something about being SOCIALly awkward, and the authors point of view is that it makes them more SOCIAL.

I hope this made sense! :)
