read the excerpt from 	he role of social media in the arab uprisings\ by heather brown, emily guskin, and amy mitchell. this passage is about egypt.
almost immediately after the arab uprisings began, there was debate over the role and influence of social media in the ouster of tunisian president zine el abidine ben ali and the imminent overthrow of egyptian president hosni mubarak. in covering what some deemed the facebook or twitter revolutions, the media focused heavily on young protesters mobilizing in the streets in political opposition, smartphones in hand. and since then, the violent and sectarian unrest in syria has brought increased attention to the role of citizen journalism.

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
The passage claims social media played a key role in the Arab uprisings (specifically Egypt) by organizing activists, but lacks supporting secondary source perspectives. Adding quotations from secondary sources (alongside eyewitness accounts) would provide expert analysis, contextualize the claim, and strengthen the argument by showing broader scholarly or expert consensus, making the argument more credible and well-rounded. The other options are less relevant: details about social media types do not directly support its role in the uprisings; examples of media outlets/civil leaders are not tied to the social media claim; Western country reactions are unrelated to the core argument about social media's role.
# Answer:
B. quotations from secondary sources in addition to those from eyewitnesses
