PLZZZ HELP 50 POINTS

Which claim does the author make in the Newsela article "Opinion: It's Important for Kids to See Diverse TV, Movie Characters"?


Representation of diverse characters and groups in media is greater than exists in the real world.

Gains in some areas of media diversity have occurred over time.

Further studies on media stereotypes are necessary before media can be adapted to expand diversity.

Children stereotype animated characters more frequently than real-life media characters.
Question 2
Part B

Read this excerpt from the article.

For example, we've found that female characters account for just under one-third of all characters. This may appear discouraging at first. Yet, it's a significant improvement from the 1:6 ratio that F. Earle Barcus had previously found.

Does the excerpt provide evidence that effectively supports the claim identified in Part A?


No, because it states that while female representation is adequate, diversity in media is still a problem.

No, because it explains the increase in female representation is below what is acceptable.

Yes, because it provides statistics that indicate a strong increase in female characters in media.

Yes, because it points out female characters are more popular than other types of characters in media.
