🔬 MCAT Exam Prep

Two scholars disagree about whether social media increases or decreases political engagement. A synthesis of their views would most likely conclude:

A Social media has no effect
B The effect depends on how social media is used and the specific populations involved
C Both scholars are completely wrong
D Only one can be correct

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

A synthesis reconciles opposing views by identifying conditions under which each is valid — the effect likely varies by context and usage patterns.
