a. \the days of looking up to inventors, artists, and genuinely successful people are gone.\

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to determine which statement supports the idea (implied by Question 7, likely about reality TV's negative impact) most strongly. Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: Talks about people no longer looking up to inventors/artists, but doesn’t directly relate to reality TV’s effects.
• Option B: States reality TV (e.g., Kardashians, Survivor) has a negative effect on society, directly addressing the impact of reality TV (matching the likely theme of Question 7).
• Option C: Highlights positive aspects of reality TV (public awareness, helpful tips), which would oppose a negative view.
• Option D: Is a philosophical question, irrelevant to reality TV’s societal impact.

Option B directly claims reality TV (e.g., Kardashians, Survivor) has a negative effect on society, aligning with the likely focus of Question 7 (criticizing reality TV). Other options either are irrelevant (A, D) or support reality TV (C).

Answer:

B. Most people who claim that reality TV has had a negative effect on society are mainly referring to shows that focus on celebrities such as Keeping up with the Kardashians or on contrived competitions such as Survivor.
