Answer:
The answer is: <u>b. Jamal, a senior captain of the football team and class treasurer. </u>
Explanation:
The first and third option aren't possible as normally these would be the opposite; n<u>egatively predisposed, </u>as their activities and due to this, personality, is very different. Sandy although is a cheerleader as well, is a freshman and "ages" here are very remarkable, so perhaps she would only be indiferent. On the other hand, Jamal, who is a boy and shares similar activities as Sumatra, as well as age, for these reasons he is more likely to be positively predisposed.
I can recommend to the media the following to address the common challenges they will encounter:
1.) As much as possible, try to research and present all necessary facts in an article or in a news report.
2.) Show both sides of the story and get both statements from opposite camps, especially when it involves politics.
3.) Remain neutral. If you are biased, it will show in your report.
Add me on the gram so I can see the whole thing. law_and_order_clips
<u>Answer to Part A:</u> American Gothic represents Grant Wood's personal view of midwesterners.
The speaker in the text intends to defend the meaning of the painting from claims of its mocking depictions of midwesterners. It is stated a the painting had a deeper meaning about society, one that goes beyond the common observer's understaing.
The rest of the options are not the text's central idea since:
- The atmosphere of the painting does not revolve around medieval times, since that era ended in the 15th century. The figures in the painting represent americans, nation that was founded much later in time.
- In the text, it is not considered that the painting is a joke - quite the contrary -. The counter-argument to this is supported by the speaker.
- There are no political parties involved in this context, which denies the fact that the painting is a political statement.
<u>Answer to Part B:</u> "The irony is that the original painting itself may have been making more of a comment on society than many observers realize".
This statement supports the idea that beyond the observer's judgement on the depiction of the characters in the painting, the real meaning of this work might comprise the painter's personal view on the society being disputed over, the midwesterns.
