Answer:

b

Explanation:

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

The article continuously states the disadvantages of not reading. For example, the article 'Why it Matters that Teens are Reading Less' states, "Of course, teens are still reading. But they’re reading short texts and Instagram captions, not longform articles that explore deep themes and require critical thinking and reflection." Another example is,  "Perhaps as a result, SAT reading scores in 2016 were the lowest they have ever been since record keeping began in 1972."
