AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

From passage: "Anger can be a useful emotion... But the algohacking of our brains to keep them in a state of incessant anger? That's pure poison."

Thought Process Breakdown: The question asks for the statement that is not stated. -> In "except" questions, find the false statement. -> The passage says anger can be useful. -> It also says constant algorithm-driven anger is harmful. -> It says companies profit from this anger. So, any option saying anger has no useful purpose is wrong. Option 1 is stated. Option 2 is stated. Option 3 is supported. Option 4 contradicts the passage.

Option Analysis: 🟠 Option 1 -> Stated -> Misused anger hurts general wellbeing. 🟠 Option 2 -> Stated -> Companies profit from rage bait. 🟠 Option 3 -> Stated -> Anger can be useful in some situations. 🟢 Option 4 -> Correct Except Answer -> The passage says anger can be useful, so this is false.
