Hallie Burch · Answer 1

C) Responsibility as citizens to lift up and educate all Americans.

Explanation:

In this text, Newton Minow tries to encourage broadcasters to improve the content of television shows by appealing to their responsibility as citizens to lift up and educate all Americans. He argues that people, and in particular children, watch a lot of TV everyday, and if the only available shows are of low-quality, then these will not contribute to their education and improvement. On the other hand, by creating quality content, TV shows can play a significant role in improving society.
