A made-up feed ranks posts only by reply count. Post A has 7 replies; post B has 25. Why does B rank higher?

• Its larger reply count proves that every claim is accurate
• Its reply count is higher under the stated rule

You want to compare app use before and after muting nonessential notifications. Which recording plan gives the most comparable notes?

• Record time spent only after muting, then guess the earlier week from memory
• Record app openings before muting, then record only time spent afterwards

One angry post reaches more people than two careful posts. What can you conclude about accuracy from reach alone?

• Reach alone does not establish accuracy
• The angry post must contain the most accurate account
• Both careful posts must contain inaccurate accounts
