Explanation:

Question 11

To determine how the cartoon reflects personalized media, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Choosing identical news sources is the opposite of personalized (which involves tailored/unique to individual) media, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: If news is filtered by personal beliefs, it means people get news that aligns with their own views, which is a key aspect of personalized media (customized based on personal factors like beliefs).
• Option C: Promoting digital literacy is not related to the concept of personalized media (which is about customization of media content for individuals), so C is incorrect.
• Option D: Directly criticizing journalists has nothing to do with personalized media, so D is incorrect.

To find the best summary of the cartoon’s argument, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The cartoon likely doesn't argue media should eliminate opinion (as personalized media often involves opinion - filtered content, not elimination of opinion), so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Disagreement strengthening democracy is not related to the typical argument of a cartoon about personalized media/echo chambers (which is more about isolation), so B is incorrect.
• Option C: "Echo chambers" refer to people isolating themselves in groups with similar views (due to personalized media filtering content to match their beliefs). This matches the idea of how personalized media can lead to people being in echo chambers, so C is a strong candidate.
• Option D: Comparing print and digital media reliability is not related to the argument of a cartoon about personalized media/echo chambers, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. It suggests news is filtered by personal beliefs
