Explanation:

For question 3:

• "minimal" means very small or slight. But in the context of public phone usage impact, it's not the most common perception.
• "negative" is a common view as phone usage in public can cause distractions, noise, etc.
• "intermittent" means occurring at intervals. It doesn't fit well with the idea of impact.
• "positive" is less likely as the general awareness often points to drawbacks.

For question 4:

• Laws about cell - phone use restrictions are mainly related to driving. Using phones while driving is a major safety concern.
• Using phones while walking, cooking, or working (in a general sense) are not as widely regulated as when driving.
