Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your

answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following
questions from 31 to 36.
In the world of social media, TikTok is relatively new. But since its creation in
2016, it’s quickly climbed the charts when it comes to popularity. Data shows
TikTok has about 1.2 billion active users every month, which is more than X
and Instagram. The people who use it tend to spend more than an hour a day
on it.
“The way TikTok is set up to have really brief, really intense, and easily
available engagement in videos adds to that dopamine release and that
inconsistent but always available input into your brain,” said Mary Gabriel, a
child and adolescent psychiatrist for University Hospitals. She said she had
noticed the impact the app had had on her patients. “You get constant
feedback in the form of likes, comments and notifications. I mean, those
frequent, but inconsistent feedback are the combination that reinforces a
behavior,” Gabriel said.
In many cases, the app as a whole adds to the peer pressure children can face
at school. Gabriel believes it’s a big reason why she is seeing more kids these
days either facing depression or anxiety-related issues. There is science behind
the impact. Gabriel points to one area of the brain that usually doesn’t become
fully developed until people reach their mid-20s. Until then, she said their
decisionmaking process may not be as logical or as rational, leading them to be
more vulnerable to be influenced by what they see on the app.
