Qiestion A
    The internet and smartphones have had more negative influence on the [  the sales of magazines  ] than those of [  books  ].  They provide a more effective way of helping people who [  have  the same  ] interests to connect with each other.

Question B
    Some people are opposed to the idea that e-books are the greener choice than conventional books because [  producing e-readers and maintaining online platforms for e-books require  ] a lot of resources, worsening global climate change.

Question C 
    For environmental reasons, replacing paper textbooks with online e-books would not be a good idea.  First, paper books are said to require less energy and fewer resources than digital readers.  In the case of e-readers, as the passage says, a lot of energy, chemicals, rare metals, and water are required.  However, this is not the case when producing traditional books.  In producing paper books, recycled paper and improved ink can be used, which is certainly more environmentally friendly.  Moreover, the fact that paper books can be easily shared, for example, at libraries and second-hand bookstores makes them more eco-friendly.  (99 words)
