    A B2Q & C1T Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B A3S & C2P Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C B5R & E4P Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D D3Q & E5T Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E A5S & D1P Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Among the given options, the correct answer is option (b) A3S: "Although social media platforms are important sources of socialization and relationship-building for many young people, they can also provide platforms for bullying and exclusion, create unrealistic expectations about body image, and be detrimental to mental health." By using "although" to connect these clauses, the sentence effectively highlights the contrast between the positive aspects of social media platforms (socialization and relationship-building) and the negative aspects (bullying, exclusion, unrealistic body image expectations, and detrimental effects on mental health). C2P: The construction industry has seen a decline in productivity due to supply chain disruptions and labour shortages; nevertheless, companies are implementing innovative strategies to mitigate these challenges and maintain project timelines. In this sentence, "nevertheless" indicates a contrast or contradiction between the two clauses. The first clause describes a situation where the construction industry has experienced a decline in productivity due to specific challenges such as supply chain disruptions and labour shortages. The second clause introduces a contrasting idea: despite facing these challenges, companies are taking proactive measures to address them and ensure that project timelines are maintained. By using "nevertheless" to connect these clauses, the sentence effectively emphasizes the resilience and determination of companies in the face of adversity.
