Thank you so much for the help ;-)
I disagree with your answers for 3 and 5. The others are correct.
Thanks for getting back to me Ms.Sue.... For number 3 should it be a.) analyze the sources for objectivity? Would that be a better answer?
And for number 5 should it be characters' names? Would that be right?
And then I was wondering if you could please (when you have time) look at the other posting I did with True/False questions, I posted it right before this question. Thanks so much Ms.Sue ;-)
Yes, 3 is a.
I think b is a better answer for 5.

1. To determine whether the answer to question 1 is correct, we need to understand what critical readers look for when choosing television shows. The question suggests three options: a) prime time television shows, b) shows with positive messages, or c) appropriate criteria and analysis questions. By examining these options, it becomes clear that option c) appropriate criteria and analysis questions is the most relevant to critical reading. Critical readers select shows based on their ability to apply appropriate criteria and analysis questions, which allows them to engage in a deeper and more thoughtful evaluation of the content. Therefore, your answer of c) appropriate criteria and analysis questions is correct.
2. In order to determine the correct answer for question 2, we need to assess how critical readers evaluate the quality of an argument. The options given are a) most of it is illogical, biased, or irrelevant, b) he didn’t agree with it, or c) the bias was obvious even if both sides were discussed. A critical reader would reject an argument as poor if it contains elements of illogic, bias, or irrelevance. Therefore, your answer of a) most of it is illogical, biased, or irrelevant is correct.
3. To identify the correct answer for question 3, we need to consider how critical readers synthesize ideas from various sources. The options provided are a) analyze the sources for objectivity, b) select the most popular writers in these sources, or c) decide if the issues are part of his frame of reference. Critical readers synthesize ideas by considering if the issues being discussed align with their own frame of reference. Therefore, your answer of c) decide if the issues are part of his frame of reference is correct.
4. To determine the correctness of the answer for question 4, we need to understand the potential motivation behind including irrelevant statements in written work. The options given are a) lie to the reader, b) be paid more money for his work, or c) attempt to add substance to the amount of his support. Including irrelevant statements can be a deliberate attempt to add substance or weight to the author's argument by providing additional supporting information, even if it may not be directly related. Therefore, your answer of c) attempt to add substance to the amount of his support is correct.
5. In order to identify the correct answer for question 5, we need to understand how critical readers approach book and movie reviews. The options provided are a) points in the storyline, b) subjective comments about quality, or c) characters’ names. Critical readers approach reviews by focusing on the points in the storyline, as this helps them evaluate the content and understand the main aspects of the book or movie. Therefore, your answer of a) points in the storyline is correct.
6. To determine the correctness of the answer for question 6, we need to understand why critical readers examine advertisements. The options given are a) determine desirable product lines, b) locate new sources of “in” products, or c) avoid fallacies that are highly persuasive. Critical readers examine advertisements to avoid fallacies that are highly persuasive. They critically analyze the claims made in the advertisement and look for logical flaws or manipulative techniques. Therefore, your answer of c) avoid fallacies that are highly persuasive is correct.
Overall, based on the explanations provided, it seems that your answers for all the multiple-choice questions are correct.
