00:03

We have an unshmoopy question with your name all over it...

00:08

First hit pause and review this passage. It hasn't changed since you read it last, but...

00:13

it might help to review.

00:25

Where would be the BEST place to get information about the history of newspapers in America?

00:31

And here are the potential answers...

00:41

Uh oh. Looking over these answer choices, we can see some stuff that doesn't appear

00:44

to be mentioned in the passage itself...

00:46

...this question isn't going to ask us to think, is it?

00:52

Yeah, but just a little bit. It won't be too painful, we swear.

00:56

All that's needed is a little common sense.

00:58

The New York Times would be great for current events, but not for the history of newspapers.

01:02

59 BC was a little... before our time. So naturally, it was before the time of newspapers as well.

01:10

And an encyclopedia article would mostly just be names of newspapers and numbers of readers.

01:17

However, an article in an academic journal would probably have a lot to say about the

01:21

history of the American paper.

01:24

We had to use our brains for this one, but our answer is definitely C.

01:27

As in, "Cranium-ache."
