2. PART B: Which TWO details from the text best support the answers to Part A?
A.“This omission is important not only because it shapes therapists’ and doctors’ understanding of their patients but because without an official DSM code, it is harder to bill insurers for treatment of a specific issue.” (Paragraph 5)
B.“Addiction may not be an official term in the U.S., at least not yet. But researchers and clinicians like Bishop, who avoid using it, are still concerned about some of the patterns of behavior they see.” (Paragraph 11)
C.“Gentile’s definition doesn’t address the questions of whether media can cause changes in your brain or create a true physical dependency.” (Paragraph 14)
D.“Young people with milder problems may learn from their more ‘deviant peers,’ she says.” (Paragraph 27)
E.“How can people, especially young people, forge healthier relationships with technology while continuing to use it every day? Some technologists believe that what has to happen is a change in the tech itself.” (Paragraph 30)
F.“The company has partnered with both UCLA Health and Columbia University Medical Center to research the efficacy of the app, and Zichermann says they plan to seek FDA approval as a ‘digiceutical.’” (Paragraph 42)3
Answer/Explanation:
<u>1. F. Our society’s dependency on devices makes it difficult to change one’s relationship with technology, but health and technology professionals are exploring solutions.</u>
This rightly fits the central ideas of the text because it noted the benefits of technology in our lives, but it stresses the need for balance and that's why mentioned was made about how health and technology professionals are exploring solutions.
<u>2. F.“The company has partnered with both UCLA Health and Columbia University Medical Center to research the efficacy of the app, and Zichermann says they plan to seek FDA approval as a ‘digiceutical.’” (Paragraph 42)3.</u>
Indeed, this statement rightly agrees with the answer in PART A as it shows practical ways in which solutions are been proferred.
