• C. They were bored of their lives.
• D. Everybody thought it was important.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Smartphones made it easy for them.

The correct answer to this question is Option B, "smartphones made it easy for them". People of all ages started taking selfies so often is because it has now become a process that requires no effort. Earlier "the whole process was so slow that one had time to uncover the lens, run into the shot and then go back to cover the lens."

Option A is incorrect because no where in the passage is it mentioned that there was an urge within the older generation to compete with the youngsters.

Option C is incorrect because it cannot be concluded that people resort to taking selfies when they are bored.

Option D is incorrect because it cannot be generalized that everyone believed in the importance of taking selfies.
