If this one is wrong sorry ill try to fix it
This great tradition began to erode with the advent of broadcast news. Radio had a great golden age but TV was pretty quick to abandon research and professionalism for the quick and the exciting. Corporate ownership between 1990–2000 ki-led newspapers, with their Yale MBA bottom line thinking. I managed a newspaper that made a 40 percent profit but all they could think to do was cut and downsize. I could document this if you like, but that’s not really the question. I know of one newspaper worth $76 million (sale price) in 1990 and it was worth $18 million in 2001 (sale price). This was due entirely to the mismanagement of Donrey and Media News. The internet was not even present for half the decade and irrelevant in the other half.
The accurate answer is: Look up the word on an online dictionary.
Looking up for a word on an online and reliable dictionary is the most effective way to find out the different meanings a word can have according to the context in which it is used. The dictionary also provides the many <u>fixed expressions</u> using that word. For example, it is commonly known that the word <em>fancy </em>means<em> "something elaborate in decoration or structure" </em>but when used in<em> "</em><em>s</em>he took a fancy to the beautiful diamond bracelet in the department-store window" the meaning gets a little confusing. Therefore, if you look it up in an online dictionary you find out that there's a fixed expression "to take a fancy on something/someone", meaning "to start liking something or someone very much". Finally, we can be sure of the actual meaning of the sentence.
<u>Regarding the rest of the options:</u>
- Use context to guess what a girl would think about a diamond bracelet for sale in a department window.
While this option could help you in identifying the meaning of the word since context is always a key factor, a simple guessing won't verify the actual meaning of the word.
- Conduct a search on an online video sharing website.
This could help you but, once again, you need a dictionary to verify whether what is posted on the online video sharing website is reliable.
- Look up the word on Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is not a 100% reliable source since everyone can provide and edit information on this website.
- Try to think of other words that sound like “fancy.”
The sound of the word "fancy" won't provide you its meaning, so it would be helpless to think of other words with a similar sound.

The phrase affects the tone of the excerpt because:
- The phrase shows that the author is disheartened by the lack of authentic images.
<h3 /><h3>What is the exact tone of the text?</h3>
The disheartening tone of the text suggests that the author is not happy with the way black women were being portrayed. They were losing themselves in the bid to fit in.
The black woman cannot love herself because her true self is hidden. So it is not encouraging to find that all media channels support this act. From the content of the text, we can deduce that the author wants black women to channel their originality and not seek to be accepted by society.
For this to happen, they have to proudly wear their hairstyle and culture and not try to fit into what is accepted by any culture they feel is superior to theirs. So, the current situation is not encouraging.
