Answer: Let us assume that I checked the status of 5 people - A, B, C, D, and E.
A - gave a status of going out for dinner with his family
B - gave a status of his current favourite song
C - gave a status of him studying for his exams
D - gave a status of going out for a movie with his friends
E - gave a status of having a cup of tea while enjoying the sunset from his window.
Explanation: Discussing each status and what it signifies:-
A is a family person. He likes to go out and spend time with his family. He also is a food lover so he uploaded all the dishes he had for dinner along with their names. He likes to document food on his social media for others to see.
B is a music enthusiast. He keeps posting about new playlists or songs that he comes across and likes for other people to also listen to them. He likes to share his music taste with others in wonder that maybe there will be others who also have the same music preference as him.
C is a school student who is bored and stressed with his ongoing exams. So he is sharing his sorrow and frustration with other people on social media in hopes that his classmates or other batch mates might share his feelings since they are also in a similar situation.
D is always out with his friends. He is an extrovert and easy-going person who always has some plan prepared for every day. He likes watching movies in the theatre so he is out to watch a newly released movie with his friends.
E is an introvert. He is a calm and quiet person who likes to spend time alone. He likes to have tea while appreciating nature. The sight of the sunset pleases him so much that he wants to share it with other people on social media who would appreciate the aesthetics.
