In  the  pre-social    era  of  the  1990s,  high  school  life  unfolded  in  a  slower,    tangible  world.  Mornings  began  with  the  blare  of  an  alarm  clock,  not  the  incessant  pings  of  notifications.  Social  connections  were  forged  in  hallways,  not  on  screens.  Laughter  echoed  through  ,  not  through  digital  threads.  Teenagers  navigated  friendships,  crushes,  and  rivalries  face-to-face,  their  emotions  expressed  through  handwritten  notes  and  shy  smiles.  High  school  in  the  1990s  was  a  time  of    interactions,  genuine  connections,  and  a  slower  pace  of  life,  a  stark  contrast  to  the  hyper  connected,  digitally    world  of  today's  youth.

  • worldly: 'Worldly' is an adjective that describes someone experienced in life, which does not fit the context of communication methods.
Correct answer: more

Explanation: The word 'more' serves as a comparative adverb that enhances the adjective 'tangible,' indicating a greater degree of tangibility in the world being described. It fits grammatically and contextually to emphasize the difference in experiences.

Meaning: More is used to indicate a greater amount or degree of something, in this case, tangibility.
