Read the following statement.
The guidelines for what is socially acceptable change as the formats for communication evolve.
Which detail from the article provides the BEST support for the statement above?
A. Unlike formal language, which can be taught with practice and a good instructor, digital communication can be full of mysterious clues. The person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily understand them.
B. "As soon as people aren't talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness of the nonverbal communication," Ivory said. "People immediately fill that gap by trying to approximate it," either by using emoji or sending gifs.
C. "We used to pick up the phone and say Happy Birthday, Happy New Year's and Merry Christmas to each other. Nowadays, it is appropriate and in good form to send those via text," the founder of a nationwide manners training institute said.
D. Ivory said that the only way to understand the techno-talk rules is to fully engage yourself in the culture. There are built-in drawbacks to over-adopting "chillaxed" methods of communication, though.
