Melvin couldn't believe his luck. He had always wanted to get a gold and purple Dynamite mountain bike. He was working hard at h

is chores and saving his allowance. Finally, he had enough money to buy the bike of his dreams. His father said they would go to the store on Saturday. Friday night, Melvin could hardly sleep. His mind was unable to rest as it raced with excitement and anticipation. After a few hours of counting sheep after sheep, he finally drifted off into a deep sleep where his dreams were vivid and realistic. He could feel the wind in his hair as he raced up and down the hills on his new mountain bike. In the morning, Melvin's father woke him up at 7 am sharp.

To evaluate a piece of media means to
Advocard [28]

Answer:

judge the purpose and message in a thoughtful way.

Explanation:

<em>express the main idea in a clear and specific way</em> – this is not the right answer. Evaluation is more complex and analytical than just the main idea.

<em>disseminate the contents to a wide audience</em> – this is not the right answer. Evaluation of the message doesn’t concern spreading it.

<em>judge the purpose and message in a thoughtful way</em> – <u>this is the correct answer. Media is used to convey a certain message through some of the tools</u> (radio, TV, internet, etc.) Therefore, its <u>evaluation concerns seeing the message and analyzing it, giving the judge of it at the end. </u>This includes possible critics or praise for the message, ways of conversion, tools, etc.

<em>communicate the information to a group of people</em> – this is an incorrect answer. Evaluation, as said before, does not concern the spreading of the information.
