Question

Which statement best evaluates the reasoning in this excerpt from “Video Game Rage”? Adachi concluded that people who played highly competitive games behaved more aggressively than those who played the less competitive games. “Even younger kids, if they’re playing these games, a lot of the time they know that playing this Call of Duty shooter game or whatever it is, is a fantasy-type thing,” said Adachi. “It’s not something that’s real … whereas the competition in the games is more real.”
A. The reasoning is sound; Adachi's position is logical and based on the results of his experiments and observations.

B. The reasoning is not sound: Adachi's position is highly influenced by media reports that link video games to violence.
