The passage emphasizes the significant amount of time we waste on our cell phones, supported by a study that quantifies our interactions with them. Let's analyze the options: a. **We waste a considerable amount of time on our cell phones.** - This option captures the main idea of the passage, which is about the time wasted on cell phones. b. **A study tells us we often touch or check our phones.** - This option mentions the study but does not emphasize the time aspect, which is central to the passage. c. **We check or touch our phones at least 150 times a day.** - This option provides a specific detail from the study but does not convey the broader point about time wasted. d. **A study has been conducted on how much time we spend on our phones.** - This option is somewhat relevant but does not directly address the main point about wasting time. Based on this analysis, the best answer is: **a. We waste a considerable amount of time on our cell phones.**
