Section C 10%Directions: Read the following two passages. Choose the best answer for each statement or question from the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet.Questions 2428 are based on the following passage.Passage OneThere is something apt about a social networking website winning a popularity contest. According to industry data, Facebook overtook Google among US internet users last week, with more visits to its pages than to the search engine. It is a moment to consider the rapid growth of a site whose 400mplus users outnumber the population of any single country except India and China.The industry data e with a few caveats. The figures exclude visits to other Google services, such as YouTube and Google Mail. They omit searches carried out in a box on a browser toolbar. Also, the number of visits is just one measure of internet takeup: counting unique users – visitors rather than visits – gives a different profile. Still, it highlights the momentum behind Facebook as it displaces from the weekly lead it has manded on this measure since September 2007.Advertisers find Facebook appealing too. It enables them to reach a mass audience, as television does, but with the extra benefit of much greater targeting. Consumer brands could easily extend their presence beyond the fan pages that already exist. Moreover, a social site provides consumers who visit for much longer than they would use a search engine. So increased advertising, and perhaps ways to allow users to shop through the site, should enable Facebook to move from positive cash flow to making profits.It will need to tread carefully. There is a risk for advertisers – and for the site – if Facebook moves to bee mercial in a way that users resent. In amongst personal information, advertisements are more likely to strike a jarring note.The highgrowth phase means that Facebook can take its time developing ways to increase revenues. The key must be to find ways that bring practical benefits to those who visit the site. There is an intrinsic stickiness about a site where users have assembled their own material, but if people stop updating their pages and social networking takes a new form, then winning users back is a hard task.What the data do not show is that search engines have had their day.
