Question

Review the first paragraph of the article, "To Tell the Truth." At this point in the history of television, the prevalence of reality TV is hard to miss. Reality TV is the portrayal of real people living through what are, for them, ordinary situations. You've probably seen at least one example of the genre. You may have squirmed through a few scenes of Deadliest Catch, a deep dive into the dangerous lives of Alaskan king crab fishermen. Or perhaps you admired the haul of antiques and treasures recently gathered by the much-loved American Pickers. Maybe you were drawn into the drama of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, or perhaps you decided to follow the vastly different lives of Matt and Amy Roloff in Little People, Big World.The fact that these shows air during prime time—between 8 pm and 11 pm—and the variety of situations they tackle suggests just how obsessed viewers have become with reality TV. While the genre may seem like a recent phenomenon, it's actually been around a long time. In this paragraph, what is the author trying to demonstrate by using the words squirmed, admired, drawn, and loved?
how people's emotional responses to reality TV can range
