To express themselves and preserve a personal moment
Explication
Taking a selfie can help someone express themselves, have fun, document life, or receive attention and compliments. Hiding one’s identity is not presented as a reason for taking selfies.
Someone takes a picture while waiting and looking for an activity
Explication
Taking a picture while waiting to find something to do corresponds to using a selfie as a way to escape boredom. The other situations illustrate documenting life, seeking compliments, or showing where someone is.
It can show an activity, attract reactions, and preserve memories
Explication
A well-taken selfie can show where people are and what they are doing, attract likes and comments, and preserve memories or shared experiences. Concealing a location and preventing reactions are not benefits identified here.
Private information may reach strangers, and hostile comments may cause distress
Explication
Publicly shared selfies can reveal private information to anonymous people, while hostile comments can make someone sad or depressed. Positive comments and sharing experiences describe possible benefits rather than the main dangers.
She walks to school every morning.
Explication
The present simple describes regular or habitual actions, so “She walks to school every morning” is appropriate. “Is walking” describes an action in progress, while the other forms refer to past or future time.
He goes to work by bus.
Explication
With he, she, or it in the present simple, the verb generally takes a third-person singular form such as “goes.” The other choices omit the required form or incorrectly combine “does” with a conjugated verb.
She doesn't want to go.
Explication
For an ordinary verb, the present-simple negative uses “does not” or “doesn't” followed by the base verb, as in “She doesn't want to go.” “Isn't” is used to negate be, not the verb “want.”
She is reading a book.
Explication
Le présent be plus ing, comme dans « She is reading a book », décrit une action qui se déroule au moment de la parole. « She reads books every evening » exprime plutôt une habitude au présent simple.
They are playing football.
Explication
La forme affirmative associe le sujet, le verbe « be » conjugué et la base verbale terminée en « -ing », comme dans « They are playing football ». « They are play football » ne place pas la terminaison « -ing » sur le verbe principal.
