best: fl.ela.k12.ee.2.1 fl.ela.k12.ee.3.1

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: There's no indication the author advocates for scheduled news consumption. Eliminate.
• Option B: The author's intent about people not being informed on important issues isn't suggested here. Eliminate.
• Option C: The reasoning about people being obsessed to hear about a fire they saw is illogical and not a typical authorial intent. Eliminate.
• Option D: If the author describes people's desire for news as so strong it interferes with self - care (like not taking care of their bodies), this fits the idea of the news getting in the way. This is the most logical intent.

Answer:

D. He thinks that people desire learning the news so badly that they let it get in the way of taking care of their own bodies.
