Part A Which claim does the author make in the Newsela article "Opinion: It's Important for Kids to See Diverse TV, Movie Characters"?

Representation of diverse characters and groups in media is greater than exists in the real world.

Further studies on media stereotypes are necessary before media can be adapted to expand diversity.

Children stereotype animated characters more frequently than real-life media characters.

Gains in some areas of media diversity have occurred over time.
Question 2
Part B

Read this excerpt from the article.

For example, we've found that female characters account for just under one-third of all characters. This may appear discouraging at first. Yet, it's a significant improvement from the 1:6 ratio that F. Earle Barcus had previously found.

Does the excerpt provide evidence that effectively supports the claim identified in Part A?

Yes, because it points out female characters are more popular than other types of characters in media.

No, because it states that while female representation is adequate, diversity in media is still a problem.

No, because it explains the increase in female representation is below what is acceptable.

Yes, because it provides statistics that indicate a strong increase in female characters in media.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
