Which sentence from the passage helps develop the implied main idea that presidential campaign advertisements will continue as l
ong as there are elections? A. “The candidates themselves often despair over the idea of being sold 'like breakfast cereal,' as presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson quipped after losing the 1956 election.”
B. “Still, it seems unlikely that anything is going to change.”
C. “In the early 1790s, each presidential campaign would even publish its own newspaper to get more information out to the public.”
D. “Different advertising techniques, such as slogans, played a significant role in early American presidential campaigns.”

First, I thought it was B. Then I realized that B does not
imply anything since it says nothing (not even indirectly) of what it is referring
to. Then, I thought it was C since it seems that the individual stating this was
trying to infer that presidential campaigns are traditional and will continue
as long as there are elections. However, I realized that the author was not
trying to imply that, rather, his point was that campaigns went far and wide to
be sold like breakfast cereal. Now because these two choices are eliminated, I
am going to have to go with D. The author seems to imply that campaigning was a
help to candidates historically and will continually play a part in future elections.
What I would do is explore the city I live in more and go to a carnival and watch the sunset while on a ferris wheel. I would also realize how good to feel to be around people, but also how it truly feels being alone even if its for only 24 hours.
