What is most clearly a disadvantage of living in a world dominated by the
presence of televisions, according to Neil Postman?
A. Viewers compare their personal lives to those of TV characters.
B. Society does not process information effectively.
C. People have become less educated.
D. The government controls information presented to viewers.
Answer:
The option B is correct
Society accepts any information as true without validation
Explanation: According to Neil postman "There is nothing wrong with entertainment." But at the same time, he explains that television is covering each and every aspect of society through its various programs. The problem with this entertainer is that none of it is being validated by masses who blindly believe on the stuff that is being shown to them by television
According to Neil Postman, the most clearly stated disadvantage of living in a world dominated by the presence of televisions is option B, "Society does not process information effectively."
What is Neil Postman's theory?Television, he maintained, reduces politics, the news, history, and everything else to simply entertainment since it must transmit ideas exclusively through seductive visual imagery. He claimed that in America, this growth resulted in the trivialization of public debate.
In his book "Amusing Ourselves to Death," Postman argues that television's focus on entertainment and sensationalism has led to a decline in the public's ability to engage in serious and meaningful discourse. He suggests that television has replaced the print medium, which he sees as being more conducive to intellectual engagement and critical thinking.
Thus, the ideal selection is option B.

Commonlit: 'The emperor's new clothes'
PART A: What is the meaning of the word "swindlers" as it is used in paragraph 2?
A Traveling people who weave clothes
B Magicians who weave magical clothes
C Scammers who con people for money
D Spies who lie for information
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Finishing the story, we see that the "weavers" weren't honest, and therefore that cancels the option of A. They certainly are not magical so that cancels B. They are not spies, I believe they are self-employed, so the only option is C, which is true. The excerpt also includes the "They let it be known" and not "It was known".

Water
Have you ever been told you need to drink water and stay hydrated? Yes, water is essential and very important to us. There are about 300 million trillion gallons of water on Earth. That is 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. So it should be easy to keep drinking and staying hydrated with all that water available? Right? Well, most of the water on Earth is in the oceans, and we can only use about 3% of the water. Out of the 3%, we can really only use 1% because the other 2% is frozen in glaciers or hidden underground. That makes you really wonder.... Is there enough water for us to use forever?
Scientists say that we will actually never run out of water. Why is that? Well, water changes form and actually is recycled through the water cycle. However, if we are not careful, we can pollute or harm water with dangerous chemicals and other pollutants. When that happens it is extremely hard to ever recover and reuse that water.
So that really has you thinking now. What can we do to have an abundance of water forever? We need to take care of our water. We need to continue to be water wise. It is important to remember not to waste, pollute or destroy our natural resources. So next time you are drinking a cup of water remember how important it is to your survival.
Questions
1. How much water is available for us to drink and use?
a. 1%
b. 3%
c. 70%
2. Why do scientists believe we will not run out of water?
a. We do not use enough to run out.
b. Scientists keep discovering new water sources.
c. Water changes form and actually is recycled through the water
cycle.
3. What are ways we can save our fresh water sources?
a. If we start drinking other types of drinks.
b. If we are water wise and not pollute our water.
c. If we limit the amount of water that is used.
4. What is the author’s purpose for writing this story?
a. to entertain the reader
b. to inform the reader
c. to persuade the reader
5. What does the word abundance in paragraph three mean?
a. not enough
b. run out
c. plenty
6. List three facts from the article:
Answer:
1. a
2. c
3. b
4. c
5. c
Explanation:
1-3 in the text, more or less verbatim.
Question 4, we have to infer. The phrases like "we need to" and "remember how important it is" suggest that the author wants us to keep that in mind and possibly change our behavior, so persuasion seems like the goal.
Question 5 - well, abundance means "plenty", so there it is.
Write a paragraph about Oline Learning Is Not Effective.
Answer:
Online learning is not effective because many kids take it for advantage not attending class and most children cannot keep up with it like they do in a classroom. Classrooms have quick access to your teacher and allow privacy for the student to ask help and most students learn and need to recive help visually and sometimes videos dont cut out. Most students get distracted and most need face to face and often feel isolated making their response to work very negative making many students fail and get low grades.
Answer: there is no face to face communication and we don’t really get to spend a lot of time with our friends or gossip about each other’s crush and it sometimes get boring just sitting in front of the computer for an hour.

Choosing the higher education institution with the cheapest sticker price might be a bad idea because _____.
Answer:
Because the educational institution may not have the necessary resources for a good academic and professional training.
Explanation:
When choosing an educational institution, one must take into account the resources and quality that the institution has, especially in relation to the plans that the student has for the future. The elements present in the institution and the resources it offers, must be combined with the professional and academic plans that the student has. In this case, although the institution's sticker price is a crucial element for choosing it, a person should not choose the institution based on the lowest price, as the lowest price institution may not offer everything the student needs to have quality in academic and professional life.
