As far as the general idea of the text is concerned, and not just the details, what is the main contradiction highlighted in the text regarding the way we live nowadays? 

Considering the last sentence of the text, "It is a time when technology brings this message to you, and a time you can choose either to make a difference and pass it on, or to just hit 'delete'", choose the option that best conveys the message.

Based on the context of the text "Modern Paradoxes," choose the option that best expresses the meaning of the expression "shallow relationships." 

Hailing from the early 19th century United States, this visionary’s legacy is deeply rooted in the American literary tradition. Emerging from a tumultuous life marked by personal loss and struggle, his experiences in cities like Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Boston reflect in the vivid settings and melancholic undertones of his work. Imbued with a unique blend of eloquence and darkness, etches tales of unparalleled imagination and psychological depth. With a keen eye for the human condition, he weaves narratives that delve into themes of death, love lost, and existential despair, often against settings that are as haunting as they are enchanting. His profound influence extends beyond the realm of literature, into the very fabric of modern storytelling, inspiring generations of writers and artists. His explorations of the supernatural and the subconscious predate and pave the way for the psychological horror genre, making him an indelible icon of literary innovation.
Mark the option that presents the described author:

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”
                                                                   T.S. Eliot

"On Monday, 8 April, train services across several regions experienced disruptions due to a 24-hour strike initiated by train drivers from the Aslef union at midnight. Affected companies included c2c, Greater Anglia, GTR Great Northern, Thameslink, Southeastern, Southern/Gatwick Express, South Western Railway main line and depot drivers, and SWR Island Line. South Western Railway announced a "significantly reduced" service operating only between 07:00 BST and 19:00 BST, while Southern reported that no trains would run across most of its network, except for a limited non-stop service between London Victoria and Gatwick. Thameslink services were completely suspended, except for a limited non-stop service between London Kings Cross and Cambridge and a shuttle service between London St Pancras, Luton, and Luton Airport Parkway."

‘It’s our Super Bowl’: This science teacher is going all out for the eclipse
It’s not always glamorous being a science teacher.
One of Rick Crosslin’s signature projects involves picking through owl pellets — that’s regurgitated owl food — to teach fifth-graders about the bird’s carnivorous diet. His YouTube page, where he posts gravity demonstrations and commentary on “very interesting microworms,” can be a labor of love, with some videos amassing a few dozen to a few hundred views. But on Monday, Mr. Crosslin in Indianapolis and science teachers around the country will have their moment in the sun (or, rather, out of it) with the arrival of the total solar eclipse. “It’s our Super Bowl. It’s our Taylor Swift concert,” said Mr. Crosslin, a teacher who specializes in creating hands-on science projects for the Metropolitan School District of Wayne Township in west Indianapolis. Mr. Crosslin, 70, has gone all out for the day. He helped procure thousands of eclipse glasses for students in his district, where a majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. In one D.I.Y. project, he created a celebratory mask — using a glue gun, a paper plate and shimmering tinsel — to resemble the sun’s corona, the outer atmosphere visible during an eclipse. His most ambitious project, though, was to build a giant model of the eclipse to help students visualize what happens. Based on the provided text, what is the main objective of Rick Crosslin in creating projects like building a giant model of a solar eclipse? 

Among the various factors contributing to the global diffusion of the English language, a fundamental aspect is its relevance as a lingua franca in various sectors, from international business to scientific and technological communications.

Fill in the gaps with some of the words indicated above.

Analyze the following assertions and the proposed relationship between them.

BECAUSE

II - it generally referred to only the most basic forms of computer operation, such as turning on a computer, opening a folder, and saving a file, and thus tended to justify a very high view of computer-related education.

Considering the emerging use of technology in language teaching and learning, analyze the following assertions.

I - Technology does not provide learners with greater access to the target language.

II - Even if all their language learning is done in formal learning contexts, learners who have access to computers have more autonomy in what they choose to focus on.

The Internet is in its early days, so its influence on English spelling has hitherto been very limited. Some of its services (chat, texting, Twitter, social networking) have popularised some old abbreviations (such as c for see, u for you, 2 for to) and introduced a few new ones (such as lol), but these are largely restricted to the technology context in which they arose, and are only occasionally encountered in the wider orthographic world. Novelties, whose long-term effect on the language remains to be seen, include minimalist or zero capitalisation in messages (no sentence-initial capital, the use of i for the pronoun I), the use of repeated letters (I’m sooooooo happy), and the replacement of normal letters by other symbols, as seen in @command, Micro$oft, AO£ (‘AOL’), d00dz (‘dudes’), and c%%l (‘cool’). We are used to apostrophes in names (O’Malley) but not usually exclamation marks (Yahoo!).
