This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Political cartoons can comment on social issues. A cartoon shows two overweight teens playing a video
game. One remarks to the other, "Football is fun!" Behind the two can be seen a pile of sports equipment,
including a football, covered with cobwebs.
Which is the BEST interpretation of the cartoonist's message?
A Lack of physical activity is an important reason for teen obesity.
B. Teens are too lazy to keep their rooms clean
C. Football players can have more fun with the game on video.
D. The teen is surprised football is fun because it's no longer a popular game.
Answer:
The best interpretation of the cartoonist's message is:
A Lack of physical activity is an important reason for teen obesity.
Explanation:
The cartoonist seems to be criticizing how people would rather play virtual sports than real-life sports. The boys are not enjoying real football, but a fake version of it, one that does not require them to move more than just a few fingers. The proof that the teens in the cartoon do not actually play sports is the dusty equipment behind them. Since they are sedentary, they end up gaining more and more weight. Therefore, the cartoonist's message is that a sedentary lifestyle is an important reason for teen obesity.
