Answer:
The argument that the author is making in the article is that binge-watching can cause people to suffer from depression.
Explanation:
The article. "PRO/CON: Is binge-watching a harmless pleasure or a harmful addiction?" talks about the benefits and drawbacks of bing-watching.
The author's argument against binge-watching is that it can cause people to suffer from depression. The author supports his claim by sharing a study by the University of Texas, in which doctors remarked that people who binge-watching are most likely to have less self-control, depression, and may feel lonely.
The doctors claimed that after their favorite show ends, people who bing-watch feel depressed that their favorite show ended.
Therefore, the correct answer is that binge-watching can cause people to suffer from depression.
Henry David Thoreau was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian, two of his greatest works are: "Resistance to Civil Government" (also known as "Civil Disobedience") and "The Mask of Anarchy". His ideals can be summarized by this statement: “the Government should not have more power than the bestowed by its citizens”.
Henry David Thoreau was even imprisoned for refusing to pay taxes in protest for the Mexican-American War and the slavery.
In this passage from Walden, Thoreau the analogy is:
He is comparing life to a moving train
Here we have the evidence to support the analogy:
Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito's wing <u>that falls on the rails.</u>
