Answer: get Berniece to play the piano

Explanation:

Berniece doesn´t want to play the piano, which represents their tragic past. She claims to be afraid of awakening the spirits of her ancestors.

But when Sutter’s ghost attacks her brother, she overcomes her fear and releases her ancestors´ spirits by playing the piano to defeat the ghost.

Wilson uses the supernatural element to allow Berniece to stop making excuses for her despair and anguish, so she can bury the past and move on with her life.

Which statement is false? Advancements in news print and the penny papers helped promote literacy among all classes in America.
Bond [772]

The statement that is false is "Since its introduction to the masses, television has always been viewed positively." This statement is obviously false because it has a generalization in it that cannot be proven with any evidence one way or the other. In fact, if we think about it on a personal level, we do not even view television as "always" positive. However, it can be proven that advancements in news print and the penny papers did help promote literacy among all classes in America. Radio did excel as a medium that provided outstanding entertainment for the masses. America does frequently pride itself on its leadership role in technological advancement.
