To determine how this newspaper article compares to the yellow journalism articles written about the explosion of the battleship Maine in 1898, it would be helpful to analyze the content, tone, and bias of both.
First, let's look at the given newspaper article. Based on the excerpt provided, we do not have all the details about the content and biases included in the article. However, we can assume that the excerpt alone indicates some level of exaggeration or sensationalism, as it uses words such as "devastating" and "tragic." To be certain, you would need to read the complete article.
Next, let's consider the characteristics of yellow journalism articles. Yellow journalism was known for its sensationalized reporting and often used exaggerated or misleading headlines and stories to capture readers' attention. These articles were notorious for their bias and manipulation of facts to promote a particular political agenda or to increase sales.
Based on this comparison, option C seems more accurate: "This article is generally exaggerated in tone while the yellow journalism articles were not." However, without knowing more specific details about the newspaper article and the yellow journalism articles in question, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer.
To make a more informed judgment, I would recommend reading both the full newspaper article and representative examples of yellow journalism articles from that time period. By comparing the content, tone, and bias of each, you will be better equipped to determine the similarities or differences between them.
