Answer: PART B: Which TWO of the following quotes best support the answer to Part A?

Notice that each answer choice has a common theme of violence.
However, choices B (violence in popular music), C (violence in video games), and D (violence on television shows) are concentrated on one area/place where violence is prevalent. They are not very broad.
