Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Logging Off for Good

Maya was seventeen when she deleted every social media account she had. There was no announcement and no dramatic final post. She simply removed the apps one afternoon and never reinstalled them. Six months later, when a journalist asked if she missed anything, she paused before answering. "I miss the person I thought I was going to be on those sites," she said. "But I do not miss the platforms themselves."

Maya is part of a growing movement. Across the world, more young people are choosing to leave social media permanently. They are not just taking a short break; they are leaving forever. What is surprising is not that they are leaving, but the reasons they give.

For many, the decision comes from a slow understanding that social media was not making them feel more connected to others. In fact, it often made them feel lonely. Research by the American Psychological Association found that teenagers who used social media for less than 30 minutes a day felt much better. Within just three weeks, their mood, sleep, and focus improved. Those who quit completely said they felt less pressure to compare their lives to others and had a stronger sense of who they really were. [I]

The platforms do not make it easy to leave. [II] Social media apps are designed to keep users looking at their screens for as long as possible. They use notifications and likes to reward the brain, similar to how games in a casino work. [III] Experts say that leaving requires a lot of effort because the systems are built to make you feel that staying away is unnatural. [IV]

However, for those who successfully quit, the results are positive. Many say that their real friendships became stronger. When they stopped "performing" or pretending to be happy online, they had more time for real conversations and shared experiences. Stepping away from the digital world is no longer seen as strange. For many young people, it has become a way to respect themselves and their time.

It can be inferred from Maya's answer to the journalist that ______.

she regrets deleting her social media accounts and wants to return
the version of herself she imagined online never matches reality
she still secretly uses social media without telling anyone
she believes the platforms themselves were the best part of her life

Which sentence best paraphrases the bold sentence in paragraph 3?

"Those who quit completely said they felt less pressure to compare their lives to others and had a stronger sense of who they really were."

Individuals who abandoned the platforms for good experienced reduced social comparison and developed a clearer true identity.
People who gave up social media entirely said they still felt pressured to evaluate their lives based on others' and struggled more with self-identity.
Those who stopped using the platforms reported that social comparison became more intense, though they developed a clearer picture of their personal values over time.
Individuals who permanently left social media felt relieved from competitive pressure but found it harder to define a stable sense of personal identity without online feedback.

Where should the following sentence be placed in the passage?

"This means they no longer felt they had to show a perfect version of their life to the world."

[I]
[II]
[III]
[IV]

It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that ______.

social media companies want their users to leave as quickly as possible
the apps are intentionally built to make quitting feel difficult
casino games are far more harmful to the brain than social media
experts believe staying away from social media is genuinely unnatural

According to the passage, all of the following are true EXCEPT that ______.

Maya gradually reduced her screen time before making the decision to log off forever
some young people leave social media to have more time for real friendships
social media apps use reward systems similar to casino games
quitting social media can help people feel better about themselves

What is the main idea of the passage?

The growing trend of young people taking short breaks from the digital world.
The reasons why some young people are choosing to leave social media forever.
A comparison between different types of social media apps and casino games.
How to improve your sleep quality by using social media more effectively.
