Question 46 - 52.
Read the passage carefully and choose an option (A, B, C, or D) that best answers each question from 46 to 52.
It is often said that childhood is the most joyful period in a person's life. This is supposed to be a time when children can focus on their studies and enjoy their free time with friends. However, these days more and more children are experiencing a stressful and miserable adolescence due to bullying.
Bullying occurs when one student, or a group of students, uses aggression to harm another child and try to make them feel bad. This abuse can either be physical, such as pushing or beating another student, or it could take the form of mental abuse, such as taunting and teasing the student. In many cases, bullies will post embarrassing pictures of the victim or spread nasty rumors about them through social media.
If you are being bullied by another student, you don't have to accept it or suffer. There are some steps you can take to deal with the problem. At first, you may try to ignore the bully, as they will often lose interest in bothering you if you don't react. If the bullying persists, however, you should tell a trusted adult as soon as possible. This could be a parent, a family friend, a teacher, a school guidance counselor, or even the school principal. Until recently, many teachers and school officials turned a blind eye to bullying, believing that the students would eventually sort it out by themselves. But this mindset has changed in recent years in light of some of the tragedies that have occurred. If for any reason you feel that your complaints are not being taken seriously, there are other groups available online who will help you deal with bullying. By dealing with bullying at an early stage, you can stop it before it gets much worse.

Giải thích câu
✅ Đáp án: D. The issue of bullying has got worse lately
🔎 Lí do:
Câu hỏi yêu cầu suy luận (inference) → tìm ở đoạn những câu nói về xu hướng hoặc thay đổi theo thời gian.
"these days more and more children are experiencing a stressful and miserable adolescence due to bullying." → Câu này cho thấy số trẻ bị ảnh hưởng đang tăng lên ("more and more") và tình trạng tồi tệ.
"turned a blind eye to" → Trước đây nhiều người bỏ qua bắt nạt, không can thiệp.
"But this mindset has changed in recent years in light of some of the tragedies that have occurred." → Câu này nói tư duy đã thay đổi trong những năm gần đây, ngụ ý vấn đề được chú ý hơn vì tình hình xấu đi.
Tổng hợp các câu trên → Suy ra hợp lý: vấn đề bắt nạt đã trở nên nghiêm trọng/hay phổ biến hơn gần đây, nên chọn D.
🚨 Những đáp án còn lại thì sao? ❌ A. Some of the worst bullies today are adults: Sai vì đoạn văn định nghĩa bully là "one student, or a group of students" → bắt nạt ở đây nói đến học sinh, không có bằng chứng nói là người lớn. ❌ B. Bullying is probably not as serious as you think: Sai vì đoạn văn mô tả kết quả tiêu cực như "a stressful and miserable adolescence" và nhắc đến "some of the tragedies that have occurred" → ngược lại, văn bản cho thấy bắt nạt nghiêm trọng. ❌ C. Bullying is a natural part of growing up: Sai vì văn bản khuyên không nên chấp nhận: "If you are being bullied ... you don't have to accept it or suffer." → tác giả không coi đó là điều tự nhiên phải chịu mà khuyên can thiệp và tìm giúp đỡ.
