Children who read tend to do better at school and professionally. The rise in technology means increased demands for higher literacy and consequences are grievous for those who fall short, according to "Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children."
Critical Thinking
The growth of digital media as a source of information has reduced the ability of children to critically evaluate the information they are exposed to, says Professor Patricia Greenfield, director of the Children's Digital Media Center at UCLA. Critical thinking skills are crucial in helping students achieve more than a cursory understanding of any topic and helps them form their own opinions. Reading requires a person to think and process information in a way that watching television may not. The more you read, the deeper your understanding becomes of what you are reading and its application. Greenfield tells parents to encourage their children to read and should read to their children. Developing writing skills can help you strengthen your ability to make reasoned arguments on a variety of subjects, which is useful in school and on the job.
Improved Communication Skills
Improving your reading and writing skills also goes hand in hand with developing your communication skills. The more you read and write, the more you broaden your vocabulary and are able to articulate concepts accurately and more effectively to others. Increasing your ability to communicate also helps make you a better worker or student.
More Opportunities
Studies show that people with advanced reading and writing skills have more opportunities in school and professionally than those who do not develop these skills. Children who are avid readers will often find school more appealing. Literary readers are more likely "to engage in positive civic and individual activities--such as volunteering, attending sports or cultural events, and exercising" than non-readers, according to the NEA study.

When the subject needs to be emphasized more than the action performed,the active voice is used.So (a) is correct
The answer to this question is hidden within the question
itself. How so? Well, first we need to be aware of what
satire is. What is satire? Satire is when an author pokes fun of (almost
mockingly) the element of a government that the author deems a flaw, failure,
or weakness. It doesn’t necessarily need
to be humorous because humor is subjective, and so for every 10 people who find
something funny, there are 10 other people who find the same thing not
funny. As such, satire is best determined
to be scorn. That said, because we know
satire is scorn for the government, the question is almost self answering in
that satire exists within “Top of the Food Chain” because of how he scorns the
government.
