Man is not destined to vanish. He can be killed, but he cannot be destroyed, because his soul is deathless, and his spirit is irrepressible. Therefore, though the situation seems dark in the context of the confrontation between the superpowers, the silver lining is provided by the amazing phenomenon that the very nations which have spent incalculable resources and energy for the production of deadly weapons are desperately trying to find out how they might never be used. They threaten each other, intimidate each other, and go to the brink, but before the total hour arrives, they withdraw from the brink.

The increasing prevalence of mobile technology has had a detrimental impact on young people's social development in the recent years. Though proponents of technology argue that it fosters connectivity and communication, excessive use can lead to social isolation and a decline in face-to-face interactions. Because of hours spent on social media or gaming, they do not have time available for building real-world relationships and developing essential social skills like empathy and nonverbal communication. Furthermore, the curated and often unrealistic portrayals of life on social media can lead to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety among young people. Therefore, it's crucial to recognize the potential negative consequences of excessive technology use and encourage a healthy balance between the digital and physical worlds for young people.

Read the given paragraph and answer the questions.
UV intensity is not the most important factor in skin cancer fatalities. While residents of Colorado (mean elevation of 2.1 km) have always been subjected to the highest UV intensities in the United States, Colorado has one of the lowest skin cancer fatality rates of all the states (Smith, 2015). In contrast, New England, which has much lower UV intensities, has a death rate from skin cancer that is 25% higher than Colorado (Smith 2015). In addition, although equatorial regions have higher UV intensities, the lowest reported skin cancer death rates in the world come from Mauritius (0.2 per 100,000) and Nicaragua (0.2 per 100,000) (Jones, 2013). On the other hand, Jones (2013) reports that Ireland (2.64 per 100,000) has the world's third highest rate. Therefore, the current evidence on distribution of skin cancer fatalities indicates that UV intensity is not the principal factor in determining the skin cancer death rate.
