Answer:
The only pro is that you will know that there is a hurricane on its way but the con is that there is no news channel that is viewing the hurricane that is arriving.
Also a mainstream daily newspaper and independent blogger are not usual go to sources, but I would prefer a daily newspaper over a independent blogger any day when looking for the latest news about a national disaster because newspapers are published daily as for independent bloggers are technically not reliable daily sources.
I would say answer A because none of the other responses make sense with the context given. The father only picked out the parts in life he wanted to live by and that he believed in. Those things were important to him if he chose to live by them, hence him “knowing the important things in life”.
