Question

HELP!!

But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, profit-and-loss sheet, or rating book to distract you—and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland.

In paragraph five, which uses a metaphor for what television is like to the author?
A) when television is bad, nothing is worse.
B) eyes glued to that set until the station signs off
C) I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland.
D) Let me make clear that what I am talking about is balance.
