Complete question explanation

Fill in the blank/ Must be True. The correct answer is C.

The author compares video games to many other forms of popular culture that were once criticized as morally corrupt, despite now being widely accepted. The last sentence takes one example of this, reading novels, and points out how silly it is to think that activity is morally corrupt. We're looking for an answer choice that will indicate that video games will soon go the way of reading novels in that they will be widely accepted.

Answer Choice (A) This answer choice doesn't explain why we would think it's silly to think reading is morally corrupting and gives us no indication that our feelings towards video games will change.

Answer Choice (B) The stimulus gives no indication of what types of culture we should prefer and this does not tie to why it is silly to think reading is morally corrupt.

Answer Choice (C) This is the correct answer. This ties to the pattern outlined in the stimulus, where things are viewed as morally corrupt and but later widely accepted.

Answer Choice (D). This idea runs counter to that of the stimulus, which tells us that these criticisms usually die down over time.

Answer Choice (E) This contradicts the first sentence of the stimulus and does not indicate that people's feelings towards video games will change.

Good news Scarlett---answer choice (C) is correct! I'm not sure where you are seeing otherwise. But if you picked answer choice (C) here, you were right on target.

Good work!

I am thinking that a reason that A is not correct is that it is too broad of a claim. We were talking about video games and making such a broad generalization seems like it may be beyond the scope of the paragraph. Also, with answer C, the argument is more symmetrical-- it repeats the pattern: books --> were criticized, now accepted; so too video games are now criticized, but we can expect that they will be accepted.
