Question

in discussing international media coverage of the luchadoras, the author states that \it doesnt hurt that the colorful pollera makes for a good cover photo\ (lines 61-62) most likely to suggest that:
a the colors of the skirts were unconventional and showed up beautifully in photos.
b the luchadoras outfits were more flamboyant than those of the male luchadores.
c the polleras, although painful to wear, became a popular choice for magazine covers.
d the journalists capitalized on the striking appearance of the skirt to sell their story.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The quote is about media coverage, not just the visual appeal of colors. This is too narrow.
• Option B: The quote doesn't compare luchadoras' outfits to male luchadores' outfits.
• Option C: The quote doesn't mention the polleras being painful to wear.
• Option D: The idea that the colorful pollera makes for a good cover photo implies journalists used this striking appearance to attract readers and "sell their story" (get people to engage with the media content about luchadoras). This aligns with the context of international media coverage.

Answer:

D. the journalists capitalized on the striking appearance of the skirt to sell their story.
