<u>D. Watching television makes people more intelligent.</u>

The author provides two examples to back up that watching television makes people more intelligent: First, they mention that people who watch television are more informed about the world (They are more aware, and can have a better view on what's going on), and second, they mention that people who regularly watch the World History Channel answer questions correctly 10% more often than those who don't watch the channel, meaning that these people are better at test than others who do not watch T.V.

The other options are incorrect:

A. Watching television is a complete waste of time: The author claims exactly the opposite.

B. People are aware that television is a good source of information: The author begins by asserting the opposite "Many people believe that television makes a person less intelligent".

C. People who watch more television are better at tests. Although the author does make this point, it is just a part of his main claim which is that people who watch more television are intelligent overall.

Naddik [55]

Answer and explanation:

In the story called "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" by Edgar Allan Poe, we find, as stated in the task, that the ourang-outang represents one kind of outsider to the society of Paris. But looking deeply into the lines of the story, we can also think that the hero, the detective called Dupin, is himself another kind of outsider. That's due to his kind of personality: a very cold cand calculating person, nearly emotionless.
