Multiple Choice

Directions: Use your knowledge of the reading-writing process to answer these questions about the following passage. ​
"Social media is not an easy concept to define. Like a cloud, the more closely one looks at it, the foggier it becomes. The word social has to do with human interaction, and the word media means 'systems of communication.' Together, they seem easy enough to understand as 'human systems of communications.' But social media is most often used for electronic communications on the Internet. Usually that consists of posting text messages, photos, and maybe short videos online for friends. People use it to stay in touch with friends. People also use social media as a form of self-expression. A person who is having a bad day can mention it online, and friends can sympathize . Or when something great happens, a person can post it, and friends can help celebrate. In addition, as Lee Rainie of the Pew Research Center says, 'If it's set up right, it's a rich environment of lots of learning and sharing of important material.' In the end, the best definition of social media may be 'a special form of conversation.'"
