The excerpt mainly focuses on the general idea that television has a bad influence on children, so I would say the best answer choice is "television has a bad influence on children." It doesn't focus too much on the three types of shows, but otherwise that would be the second best answer. Let me know which one is correct, but I believe it's B.
Answer:
"The air was in the early morning; like the flap of a wave; the kiss of the wave"
"on waves of that divine vitality."

Answer:
Add a comma after "environmentalism".
Explanation:
Punctuation is the most important part of a sentence. any misplacement or elimination of punctuation marks can change the entire meaning of a sentence.
In the given sentence, the grammatical error is in the punctuation mark. A comma (,) should be placed after the word "environmentalism."
So, the sentence with the correct punctuation mark would be:
<em>"Henry David Thoreau, often known as the father of environmentalism, wrote the book entitled Walden."</em>
The comma is placed after the word "environmentalism" because the phrase "often known as the father of environmentalism" is a modifier.
So, the correct answer is the last option.
In this passage, the setting details that cause the narrator to feel uneasy are: (1) the dark furniture and (4) the curtains that sway because of an approaching storm.
Reference to the dark furniture is made in the lines <em>"...the gloomy furniture of the room"</em> and reference to the curtains that sway is made in the lines <em>"the dark and tattered draperies, which, tortured into motion by the breath of a rising tempest, swayed fitfully to and fro upon the walls, and rustled uneasily about the decorations of the bed".</em>
