Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze paragraphs 5 - 6. Paragraph 5 talks about a firm handling marketing for school districts and choosing appropriate advertisers. Paragraph 6 details how the money from advertising helped schools pay for computers, textbooks, etc., and local businesses reach new customers. Option A is incorrect as there's no mention of students' disinterest. Option C is incorrect as the paragraphs don't explain how to advertise products for student interest. Option D is incorrect as the focus is on how advertising benefits schools and businesses, not on how easily adults are influenced. Option B is correct because the firm's example and the benefits (like paying for school resources) show an example of advertising benefiting schools.

Answer:

B. They provide an example of advertising that benefited schools.
