Nº15 Which of the following is NOT true about iGen teenagers, according to the author?

The author states that iGen teenagers are more vulnerable psychologically, with skyrocketing rates of teen depression and suicide. They are more comfortable in their bedrooms, less likely to get into car accidents, and less susceptible to drinking's attendant ills. The text does not explicitly state they prefer loneliness to company or have more physical health problems, but it highlights psychological vulnerability and unhappiness. However, option 1, "Most of them feel extremely unhappy," is supported by the discussion of mental health crisis. Option 2, "It is easy to hurt them psychologically," is also supported by their vulnerability. Option 4, "They have more physical health problems," is not directly mentioned as a general trait for iGen, unlike the psychological issues. Option 3, "They prefer loneliness to company," is not directly stated, but their preference for spending time alone in rooms with phones might imply a tendency towards less social interaction.

Rereading the paragraph about psychological vulnerability, the text mentions "rates of teen depression and suicide have skyrocketed." This strongly suggests unhappiness. The author also says, "Psychologically, however, they are more vulnerable..." which supports the idea that they are easier to hurt psychologically. The text does not mention physical health problems. The preference for loneliness is implied by spending time alone in rooms with phones.

Therefore, the statement that is NOT true or not supported by the text is about physical health problems.

Ответ: 4. They have more physical health problems.
