Transcript

00:03

Here's an unshmoopy question you'll find on the exam...

00:07

It's passage time. We'll give you a sec to pause and review...

00:27

Which of the following statements is supported by information in the essay?

00:32

And here are the potential answers...

00:36

Ok, so what is this question asking?

00:38

It wants us to look at each of the four answer choices and determine which one is supported

00:43

by the essay.

00:45

They might all be true. But if the essay doesn't say so, then adios.

00:52

A... "USA Today was the first paper published in the U.S."

00:56

Uh, no. We don't have to read any further than the first sentence to see that's bogus.

01:01

B... "The rise of the Internet has not affected newspaper publishing."

01:06

Again, it doesn't matter whether you know the internet has taken a giant dump on print

01:10

newspapers in the real world...

01:15

...what does the essay have to say about it?

01:18

Looking at the second paragraph, it appears this essay agrees with the real world. Next.

01:23

C... "The newspaper industry has always been very stagnant."

01:29

Nowhere does the essay support this. In fact, it talks about how important newspapers have

01:34

been in our history, and that there are "1400 dailies" in this country. Not so stagnant.

01:40

D... "The content that newspapers report has changed dramatically over the years."

01:46

There we go. Check out the middle of paragraph one. Bingo.

01:50

Our answer is D.

01:51

As in, "Dump."
