Question

read the claim and the supporting evidence.
claim: television is a dying medium.
evidence: since 2010, more than five million people have dropped their subscriptions to cable or broadband.
why does the evidence support the claim? choose the analysis that better explains the connection.
the strength of a medium can be inferred from its popularity.
cable providers should make radical changes to their business plans.

Explanation:

The claim is about television being a dying medium. The evidence is people dropping cable/broadband subscriptions. The first analysis connects medium strength (dying) to popularity (dropping subscriptions, so less popular). The second is about cable providers' business plans, not the connection between evidence and claim about television as a medium.

Answer:

The strength of a medium can be inferred from its popularity.
