ead the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Imagine only ever hearing opinions that match your own. That is exactly what happens when teenagers get trapped in an "echo chamber" - an online environment where the same ideas are repeated again and again, with little exposure to different points of view.
Echo chambers are created largely by the algorithms that power social media platforms. Every time a user likes, shares, or watches a particular type of content, the algorithm takes note and delivers more of the same. For teenagers, who often spend several hours a day on apps like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, this means their feeds quickly become filled with content that reflects only what they already believe. Research shows that one in five young people is on social media almost constantly, giving algorithms plenty of data to build a narrow information bubble around each user.
The problem with living inside an echo chamber is that it weakens critical thinking. When every post confirms what you already believe, there is no reason to question your ideas or consider other perspectives. Over time, this can lead to a distorted view of the world, where complex issues seem simpler than they really are. Studies have also found that echo chambers can increase anxiety, mistrust, and social isolation, as users begin to see anyone with a different opinion as an opponent rather than someone worth listening to.
Breaking out of an echo chamber does not require giving up social media altogether. Experts recommend following accounts that offer different viewpoints and checking information from more than one source before accepting it as true. Schools can also help by teaching media literacy, which gives students the skills to recognise how algorithms shape what they see and to think more carefully about the content they consume.
The word "trapped" in paragraph 1 is CLOSEST in meaning to _____.
interested
forced
stuck
educated
The word "constantly" in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _______.
independently
occasionally
continuously
properly
Teenagers who use social media more frequently are more likely to encounter a wider range of viewpoints than those who use it occasionally.
Social media platforms deliberately design their algorithms to prevent teenagers from accessing content that contradicts their existing beliefs.
The more time a teenager spends on social media, the more data the algorithm has to narrow the content they are exposed to.
Teenagers who use multiple platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube are less likely to become trapped in a single echo chamber.
According to the passage, how do social media algorithms create echo chambers?
They track user behaviour and then show more content that matches existing interests.
They randomly select posts from accounts the user has never followed before.
They require users to answer questions about their political opinions before signing up.
They prevent users from accessing a wide range of international news sources.
Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
"When every post confirms what you already believe, there is no reason to question your ideas or consider other perspectives."
Posts that offer confirmation of different perspectives encourage teenagers to question what they read more often.
The more perspectives a post presents, the less confirmation a user needs before questioning whether the information is reliable.
Teenagers who question the posts they see online are more likely to receive confirmation that their perspectives are correct.
If every post a person sees confirms their current views, they lose the motivation to question themselves or explore other perspectives.
reduced ability to think critically
increased feelings of anxiety
growing distrust of people with different opinions
a significant drop in academic grades at school
