Question

tune in to the television any evening and you will most likely find a so - called
eality\ show on at least one of the major networks. these shows usually include some kind of competition or other. a glimpse at the
eal lives\ of people, perhaps. often the
eality\ revealed in these shows has been edited and changed in order to make it more dramatic - and less like real life. so why are we so obsessed with watching
eality\ shows when we could be enjoying our own lives? ask people who watch reality shows, and they will tell you something like \its interesting to see these people compete\ or \i want to see what another persons life is like.\ but when these shows are edited and rearranged for dramatic effect, viewers are not really getting a glimpse of another persons life. reality shows, even the competitions, are still fast - paced and have to make an argument for networks. if that means a producer has to make an argument look more dramatic or make one contestant look cruel and conniving, so be it. the next time you get suckered into watching a reality or competition show with your friends, think twice about the drama you witness on the screen. consider reading a book or going out with your friends instead. and remember that your reality is far more real than any television show. 13. select the correct answer. how does the language in the final paragraph inform the reader about the writers attitude toward reality shows? a. by comparing books with reality b. by strongly cautioning the reader c. by hinting that the reader is gullible d. by firmly advocating for less television

Explanation:

The final - paragraph language encourages readers to think twice about watching reality shows and suggests alternative activities like reading a book or going out with friends. It is cautioning the reader. There is no comparison with books in terms of reality, no hint of reader's guilt, and no firm advocacy for less television in general (just a preference for other activities over reality shows).

Answer:

B. by strongly cautioning the reader
