Hello. You did not inform the novel to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
Rumors are made up stories, which have no justification or evidence, which are told about people in order to defame or spread generalizations and lies about them. Homosexuals are victims of many rumors, which ends up damaging their life and freedom in some situations, in addition to stimulating homophobia.
It is only possible to find the rumors to which your question refers, by reading the novel that the question is related to. By doing this reading, you will be able to identify the rumors, that is, the false and defamatory stories about homosexuals.
Answer:
judge the purpose and message in a thoughtful way.
Explanation:
<em>express the main idea in a clear and specific way</em> – this is not the right answer. Evaluation is more complex and analytical than just the main idea.
<em>disseminate the contents to a wide audience</em> – this is not the right answer. Evaluation of the message doesn’t concern spreading it.
<em>judge the purpose and message in a thoughtful way</em> – <u>this is the correct answer. Media is used to convey a certain message through some of the tools</u> (radio, TV, internet, etc.) Therefore, its <u>evaluation concerns seeing the message and analyzing it, giving the judge of it at the end. </u>This includes possible critics or praise for the message, ways of conversion, tools, etc.
<em>communicate the information to a group of people</em> – this is an incorrect answer. Evaluation, as said before, does not concern the spreading of the information.
