Click on the link above to take a fun – but challenging and somewhat disturbing – interactive quiz (from the New York Times, Sept. 4, 2018) to test your ability to distinguish fake posts from real ones.

I think an extended version of this quiz, or something similar, should be a major part of the SAT test!
