We're about to pop the unshmoopy question... Want to take another gander at the passage?

00:09

Hit pause... we'll wait...

00:21

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

00:25

And here are the potential answers...

00:33

Okay, we've got another interpretation question here.

00:37

Our job is to read through the answer choices, and see which one is backed up by the text.

00:41

Remember -- doesn't matter if they're really true or not... it's all about the

00:46

passage... Let's start with A... "The rise of the

00:54

Internet is forcing traditional newspapers to change the way they present the news."

00:59

The second sentence in the second paragraph absolutely supports this idea...

01:03

...so we think we've roped our answer, but let's make sure...

01:08

B... "There is very little difference between Publick Occurrences and USA Today."

01:14

A dramatic difference is... a big difference. So no way, Jose. B is out.

01:19

C... "Newspapers were initially created to deliver only local news."

01:24

It's the "only" here that ruins it. Yes, the paper was created to cover domestic

01:29

news, but also foreign... as mentioned here.

01:34

So it can't be C. D... "The Internet is on its way out, making

01:40

room for the next wave in news delivery."

01:45

Remain calm, Internet generation... it isn't true. There may be "changes to the news

01:49

industry," but nowhere does the passage claim that the Internet is on the way out.

01:56

Our answer is A.

01:58

As in, "All about the passage."
