Whoa, that's a lot of Beatles questions all at once! Allow me to pick just one for a response here. "What role did television play in the Beatles' success?"
Television allowed the Beatles to reach a mass audience across America. The Ed Sullivan Show had a huge audience in the United States at that time. Back in the 1960s, the only television was network broadcast television. There were no cable channels. No Netflix. No Hulu. No Amazon Prime. No Youtube. So if you made an appearance on a major network show like The Ed Sullivan Show, you were reaching all TV viewers in America. When the Beatles made their first appearance on American television, on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964, they were seen by an estimated 73 million American viewers. That's a huge audience. Not quite Super Bowl numbers (which reach around 100 million), but still huge. For comparison, the most-watched episode of a hit cable program like The Walking Dead (its season 7 premiere) got 17 million viewers.
So, for sure, the dynamics of television in the 1960s helped the Beatles become an enormous success in the American entertainment market.

Explanation:
The correct answer is answer C ("There are no alternatives to the traditional prison system for drug offenders").
Back in the 1980s, less than 25.000 people in the United States were incarcerated for drug offenses. Since then, the number has sky-rocketed: currently sitting at nearly 300.000. This goes to show how ineffective the hardening of policies regarding drug-related arrests and convictions are at trying to stop the crisis. Drug abuse is not going to stop just because more people are going to prison, mass incarceration just generates more problems within the existent prison system.
Implementing alternative sentencing strategies would definitely be more efficient and less costly for the States until the drug problem is solved, which is an entirely different venture that isn't going to be helped by over-populating prisons all over the country.
Hope this was helpful to you!
