DIMINISHED – lessened or reduced.
SNEAKED – went somewhere or did something secretly.
ADDRESSED – dealt with a problem.

Grown – past participle of grow, meaning to become larger or older.
Groan – a low, mournful sound uttered in pain or grief.
Gone – past participle of go, meaning to leave or depart.
- Answer: (B)
The correct spelling of the word is CLAMOROUS (noisy and disorderly). Thus, B is the right answer.

The correct spelling of the word is ATROCIOUS (appalling; shockingly bad).
- Answer: (C)
In C, remove the preposition AT, as it is redundant.
- Answer: (B)
In B, replace the singular pronoun THIS with THESE as the object COMPOUNDS is plural. Thus, B is the right answer.

C begins the paragraph by talking about the rise in the use of social media over the past decade and a half, and A follows and supports this by talking about the United States, where an increase in the number of adults using social media has been observed. DB is another mandatory pair. D follows A by stating that this increase in social media use has given rise to interest and concern, and B follows D and concludes the paragraph by telling us that the concern is about the impacts of social media on our lives and psychological well-being.
