You read through a site about inventions that contains the following paragraph: "The most significant invention of the 20th century was the cell phone. Life as we know it has completely changed since, with everyone having instant access to other people around the world through multiplayer games, text messaging, voice, and more. Most people don't have landline phones anymore as there is no point—they carry cell phones on themselves. No other invention can compare with the drastic changes brought by cell phones." Which of the following is true about this paragraph? It is objective, with the purpose of informing people about the significance of cell phones. It is objective, with the purpose of persuading people to purchase and use cell phones. It is biased, with blanket statements that cannot be proven related to cell phones. It is biased, with factual statements that are supported by data on cell phones.

OpenStudy (nikki_skellington):

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

A. It is objective, with the purpose of informing people about the significance of cell phones. B. It is objective, with the purpose of persuading people to purchase and use cell phones. C. It is biased, with blanket statements that cannot be proven related to cell phones. D. It is biased, with factual statements that are supported by data on cell phones. One sec...had to organize those or I couldn't read em :P

OpenStudy (nikki_skellington):

lol ok

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

Okay well I'm gonna say it's either A or B. I don't see anything in the paragraph that is actually trying to get you to buy a cell, but it could easily fit into the middle of several paragraphs trying to get you to buy one.

OpenStudy (nikki_skellington):

ok..this question literally makes no sense tho.

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

I can tag someone else who might be able to clarify it a bit more if you wish.

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

A. It is objective, with the purpose of informing people about the significance of cell phones. B. It is objective, with the purpose of persuading people to purchase and use cell phones. C. It is biased, with blanket statements that cannot be proven related to cell phones. D. It is biased, with factual statements that are supported by data on cell phones.
