Đáp án D
Kiến thức về câu so sánh kép
*Theo cấu trúc so sánh kép, ta có:
The + {more adj/adv} hoặc {adj/adv_er} + S + V, the + {more adj/adv} hoặc {adj/adv_er} + S + V: càng…….càng……
=>Căn cứ vào cấu trúc, ta thấy D sai. Vì theo quy tắc, ta dùng “seem + adj” bởi “seem” là một trong những động từ chỉ tri giác, sau nó sẽ dùng tính từ thay vì trạng từ như những động từ thường khác. Do đó, hình thức so sánh hơn của tính từ “bad” ở đây là “worse”
Tạm dịch: Nhiều người cho rằng các chương trình tivi càng trở nên phổ biến thì chúng dường như càng trở nên tồi tệ hơn.
=>Đáp án D (more badly -> worse)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
In “How many hours does it take to make a friend?” (2018), Jeffrey A. Hall describes the types of encounters that build a friendship.
His study found that hours of time spent together was linked with closer friendships, as was time spent enjoying leisure activities together. Specifically, he found that the chance of making a “casual friend,” as opposed to a mere acquaintance, was greater than 50 percent when people spent approximately 43 hours together within three weeks of meeting. He further found that casual friends evolve into friends at some point between 57 hours after three weeks, and 164 hours over three months. Hall's research also demonstrated, however, that when it comes to time spent developing friendships, quality is more important than quantity. And when it comes to conversation, topics matter. When it comes to building quality relationships, the duration of conversation is not as important as the content. Meaningful conversation is the key to bonding with others.
Hall found that when it comes to developing friendships, sharing daily life through catching up and joking around promotes closeness; small talk does not. Consider the inane topics that often come up when you are trapped in an elevator with an acquaintance. Discussing the weather or speculating on how many stops you will make before finally reaching the lobby does not facilitate bonding. Nor does mere proximity. Hall found that obligatory time spent together, such as in a classroom or workplace, does not promote closeness. Friendships require an efficient use of time together. Someone who remembers the details of your life and asks questions about your family, your job, your latest vacation, etc., is much more likely on his or her way to becoming someone you consider a friend, as opposed to an acquaintance.
