Question

read the paragraph.
people tend to adopt the style of writing and speaking that they read the most. if hours of each day are spent absorbing the casual banter of social media, the readers own language will reflect that casual style. if this material is balanced with more serious content, such as newspapers, journals, or classic novels, the readers language is likely to reflect the depth and maturity of these sources. students should strive for such balance, regularly immersing themselves in text that is more intellectual than a passing \tweet\
what central idea is explicitly stated in the paragraph?
social media is becoming increasingly popular with students
the language of newspapers is well researched and clever
students language is a reflection of what they read
reading is the most important subject for serious students

Explanation:

The paragraph starts by stating that people adopt the writing and speaking style they read the most. It then gives examples of social media (casual) and more serious content (newspapers, etc.). The overall message is about language reflecting reading material.

Answer:

Students' language is a reflection of what they read.
