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

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.

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

Question 2
Part B

Read this excerpt from the article.

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.
