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: B) Television is a bad influence on children.

Explanation: In the given excerpt of an argumentative essay we can see that the claim that the paragraph best provide support is that television is a bad influence on children. We can see that this claim is supported by statistics ("76 percent of the respondents admitted they had witnessed their children demonstrating improper or embarrassing behavior they felt originated from television") and also with examples of shows that can produce inappropriate behaviors on children like reality shows, daytime talk shows, and adult-themed cartoons.

90% of runners in a marathon successfully completed it. 30% of these runners were men. How many total runners began the marathon

Semmy [17]

The total runners who began the marathon is 1000

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Runners who completed the marathon = 90%

Men = 30%

Number of men completed the marathon = 270

Total runners who began the marathon = ?

Let the total runners be x

According to question:

Runners who completed the marathon = $\frac{90}{100} X x$

= 0.9x

and,

$\frac{30}{100} X 0.9 x = 270$

Solving further:

$0.9x = \frac{270 X 100}{30} \\\\x = \frac{270 X 100}{30 X 0.9} \\\\x = 1000$

Therefore, total runners who began the marathon is 1000
