Statement: The widespread adoption of social media services in the 21^st century has transformed how people communicate, enabling instant global connections. However, this shift has also contributed to the spread of misinformation, impacting public trust and social cohesion. In response, some governments have introduced stricter regulations, but these efforts raise concerns about potential censorship and freedom of expression. Some activists argue that controlling misinformation through regulation is necessary, even at the expense of individual freedoms.
Conclusion:
I. The rise of social media services has both benefits and drawbacks for society.
II. Governments should prioritize freedom of expression over controlling misinformation.
III. Efforts to regulate misinformation come with complex trade-offs.
Based on the above statement, which conclusion necessarily follows?

• A. Only I follows
• B. Only III follows
• C. Both I and III follows
• D. Both II and III follows

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Conclusion I follows because the statement acknowledges both the positive impact of social media (instant communication) and the negative impact (misinformation).
