Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" is a poem by one of the foremost figures of 20th-century American poetry, William Carlos Williams, first published in Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems in 1962. The poem is a work of ekphrasis—writing about a piece of visual art—and is part of a cycle of 10 poems inspired by the paintings of 16th-century artist Pieter Bruegel (or Brueghel) the Elder. Both Bruegel's painting and this poem depict the death of Icarus, the mythological figure who died after flying too close to the sun, in a rather unusual way: in both works, Icarus's death—caused by a fall from the sky after the wax holding his artificial wings together melted—is hardly a blip on the radar of the nearby townspeople, whose attention is turned instead toward the rhythms of daily life. Tragedy is thus presented as a question of perspective, something that depends on how close one is (literally and emotionally) to the event in question.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Throughout the passage, the author takes the stance that too much gaming is unhealthy and is a bad obsession for young people.
Let's analyze the answer choices.
A.
This choice is correct. The passage states that "young people become obsessed with video games". The author also says that "many gamers play indoors...They rarely do any outside activities, including exercise." If a sentence about the harmful effects of no exercise was added, it would help support the argument that too much gaming is harmful.
B.
This choice is incorrect. This sentence has nothing to do with the fact that excess gaming is bad.
C.
This choice is also incorrect. A release date for the PlayStation 3 doesn't help persuade the readers that too much gaming is not good.
D.
This choice is also incorrect. Games without consoles do not support the argument that gaming in excess is bad.
The best choice is A: A lack of physical activity can lead to obesity and diabetes.
