Cable-television spokesperson: Subscriptions to
cable television are a bargain in comparison to "free"
television. Remember that "free" television is not really
free. It is consumers, in the end, who pay for the
costly advertising that supports "free" television.
Which of the following, if true, is most damaging to the
position of the cable-television spokesperson?
(A) Consumers who do not own television sets are
less likely to be influenced in their purchasing
decisions by television advertising than are
consumers who own television sets.
(B) Subscriptions to cable television include access
to some public-television channels, which do not
accept advertising.
(C) For locations with poor television reception,
cable television provides picture quality superior
to that provided by free television.
(D) There is as much advertising on many cabletelevision
channels as there is on "free"
television channels.
(E) Cable-television subscribers can choose which
channels they wish to receive.
Answer is D... I'm having some trouble grasping the question answers here and the passage itself as well. can someone please break down, in detail, this question for me? Much appreciated thanks all!
