Problem 1 - Entrance Test

The proliferation of social media has, paradoxically, led to both increased interconnectedness and a heightened sense of _____, as individuals curate idealized versions of themselves, fostering unrealistic comparisons and a yearning for unattainable lifestyles.

Correct: B

The sentence describes a paradox where increased connection leads to a negative outcome. 'Alienation' best fits the context, suggesting a feeling of isolation and detachment despite being connected online. Ubiquity means being everywhere, conviviality means friendliness, and empathy means understanding others' feelings.
