Read the two sentences from the section "CON: Binge-watching leads to mental-health issues."

A University of Texas study found that binge-watchers were more likely to be depressed, lonely and have less self-control than those who do not binge-watch.

Another study found that, rather than relieving stress, binge-watching actually worsened stressful feelings like regret, guilt and personal failure, because of a sense of wasted time and inactivity.

How do these sentences develop the debate about binge-watching in the article?


A)The sentences provide firsthand testimony to support the idea that binge-watching is harmful to viewers' social and emotional health.

B)Both sentences directly contradict earlier claims about the possible social and emotional benefits of binge-watching.

C)The sentences illustrate the contradictory emotions that binge-watching often causes in those who do it frequently.

D)Both sentences describe experts' opinions about the positive social and emotional consequences of frequent binge-watching.
