Question

Part B:

Which piece of evidence from the passage supports the answer to Part A?
A
B
Our ability to make decisions concerning the events around us would rest on what we saw with our own
eyes or on what others told us.
Moreover, it is likely that our busy lives, predominantly spent earning a living, would make us insular and
inward looking: We would be relatively uninterested in the events of the outside world.
C
We would not have the time to investigate the events around us. It is highly unlikely we would find the
time to go to a local council meeting or travel to a presidential candidates' debate.
D
Naturally, such an alternative world would be of interest to crooked politicians, but it reveals the
importance of the media's work: the difficult, and often thankless, task of scrutinizing the government on
our behalf.
