Which of the following is an example of yellow journalism? a. articles that dealt with facts about the spanish american war b. articles containing political motives to persuade the reader c. articles containing humor to detract the reader from the more important issues d. articles that exaggerated or manipulated events to shock the readers

The answer you are looking for is D.) articles that exaggerated or manipulated events to shock readers.

For example lets say there was a car crash and the people had minor injuries in your town.  Later you see on the morning paper that the people suffered terribly from the crash that they had to be flown to a hospital.  That is yellow journalism because the event is exaggerated.

"teotihuacan was the cultural center of the zapotecs".
