Multiple Choice

Read the paragraph below and then answer the questions that follow by selecting the letter of the correct response.
Playing video games can be a fun and relaxing hobby. For some players, though, this activity can become an addiction that's as harmful as gambling. That's why gamers who play two or more hours a day should be aware of the signs of addiction. One of these signs is abandonment of other hobbies. Someone who stops participating in all other leisure time activities or social events to play video games may be in the grip of a harmful addiction. Another sign of possible addiction is constantly thinking or talking about a game even while doing other things. If thoughts about the next gaming session prevent someone from paying attention to other tasks or people, that player could be addicted. A final warning sign is fighting with or lying to loved ones about the amount of time spent playing. Neglecting relationships with family members and friends is a classic sign of video game addiction.
