Hi Irem, let's solve this sentence completion question together by looking at the logical and grammatical flow of the sentence.
Sentence Completion Analysis
First, let's look at the main clause: It is argued that social media websites have a high potential for educational use. The key phrase here is high potential for educational use, which sets a positive tone and requires a supporting reason or condition.
Main Clause
'It is argued that social media websites have a high potential for educational use...'
Now, let's evaluate Option A. It mentions students browsing feeds or chatting. These activities are usually considered distractions rather than educational potential, so this doesn't complete the thought logically.
~~A) with students browsing... chatting~~ (Irrelevant/Negative)
Option B suggests using social media to look into students' private lives. This is an ethical issue and does not support the idea of 'educational use,' so we can rule it out.
~~B) in case... students' private lives~~ (Unrelated/Ethical issue)
Option C says 'so that they could allow students to devote more time to online activities.' This sounds like a result of using social media, but it doesn't give a reason why they have high educational potential.
~~C) so that they could allow... more time online~~ (Weak connection)
