Excerpt from Newton Minow's Speech to National Association of Broadcasters speech by Newton Minow 5 But when television is bad,

nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, profit-and-loss sheet, or rating book to distract you—and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland. In paragraph five, which uses a metaphor for what television is like to the author? A) when television is bad, nothing is worse. B) eyes glued to that set until the station signs off C) I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland. D) Let me make clear that what I am talking about is balance.

Story ending with I have never been so embarrassed
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Story-writing.

Explanation:

During my college days, I went on a trip with my friends. It was an unofficial trip. This was for the first time that I was going on a trip with my friends. All of us had a camera with us to capture the natural beauty and some of our funny moments. We already had decided to share all the photos and videos after returning back home. I found this very excited that we will not talk about any photograph or video during our trip and discuss it after our return. So we all explored and enjoyed our trip. As soon as we returned back we organize a small gathering for photosharing.  Therefore, I was the first to share all my memories through photos and videos. Everyone appreciated my photos which made me happy. But by the time others began sharing their photos I felt so embarrassed because there were some very embarrassing pictures of mine. I tried to dance for the first time on this trip and my friends clicked my photo in a snake pose with a goggle and they called me a modern snake. My other friend captured a moment when I fell from the stairs like a ball. I left the gathering by making an excuse. I have never been so embarrassed before.
