Answer 1

A. Analyze the political news and media

Answer 2

The correct option is A

• In addition to the news that tells recent events that interest a large number of people, in a clear and understandable way we find in the newspapers other texts whose content includes the points of view of the writer, that is, what he thinks about the facts. A fact is a statement that can be verified (occurred at such time, in such street, etc). On the other hand, an opinion is a view (a thought) that is based on the reasons presented by the person who expresses his way of thinking.
• Propaganda is a form of communication that aims to influence the attitude of a community regarding some cause or position, presenting only one side or aspect of an argument.
