The overuse of social media has led to a decline in the academic performance of this country’s high school students. Which reasons are logically sound and could be used to support the claim? Select two options. High school students are spending more time on social media than they are studying and completing homework. Grades at a specific high school are worse this year than they were 20 years ago, when social media was not a distraction. Social media is causing many problems in society, including a lack of attention and a more negative attitude toward education among students in my neighborhood. You can read several articles about students around the country causing problems at school rather than focusing on academics. Standardized test scores dropped or remained stagnant in many states in 2017, which was the peak year to date for social media use.

Solution

The two reasons that could logically support the claim that the overuse of social media has led to a decline in the academic performance of high school students are:

  1. High school students are spending more time on social media than they are studying and completing homework. This reason directly links the overuse of social media to a decrease in time spent on academic activities, which could logically lead to a decline in academic performance.

  2. Standardized test scores dropped or remained stagnant in many states in 2017, which was the peak year to date for social media use. This reason provides a correlation between the peak usage of social media and a decline or stagnation in academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores. While correlation does not necessarily imply causation, it is a logically sound reason to support the claim.
