Explanation:

• Question 8: Advances in communications technology generally increase accessibility to information, not decrease it. Global connectivity is enhanced (e.g., internet connecting people worldwide), and governments can be more transparent (e.g., posting info online).
• Question 9: Communications technology allows rapid info spread (e.g., social media, news apps). It often reduces traditional media's influence (as digital media grows) and doesn't reduce media's role (just changes its form).
• Question 10: Modern governments use tech to increase transparency (e.g., open - data portals) and engage (e.g., citizen feedback apps). Censorship and restricting info access are not positive, common modern uses (though some may misuse, but the general positive use is engagement and transparency).
• Question 11: The European Union has policies on trade, travel, etc. that promote interconnectedness (e.g., Schengen Area for travel, single market for trade) among member states.

Answer:

• Question 8: A. Decreased accessibility to information
• Question 9: A. They enable the rapid dissemination of information through various platforms
• Question 10: B. To increase transparency and engage with citizens
• Question 11: A. True
