Question

which statement best summarizes the overall message of the video? a.e1.aor.4.1 analyze an author’s perspective or purpose in a text, and analyze how the author’s rhetoric contributes to the effectiveness of the text. psychology studies do not show any evidence for people being good or evil. humans are naturally good but corrupted by society. humans are born evil but can change for the better. humans have both good and bad instincts, and psychology shows evidence for both.

Explanation:

The correct statement must reflect a balanced perspective supported by psychological evidence. The first option claims no evidence exists, which is inaccurate as research has explored both moral tendencies. The second and third options take one-sided stances (naturally good or naturally evil) that do not align with the breadth of psychological studies on human behavior. The fourth option acknowledges the coexistence of both good and bad instincts, with psychological evidence supporting both, which is the most comprehensive and accurate summary.

Answer:

D. Humans have both good and bad instincts, and psychology shows evidence for both.
