Reading the passage
Why finish with children's programming, violence, and political viewpoints? The original dispute concerned segregation. These later topics show that the case opened the door to much more than that one issue. We're looking for that broader impact.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
The examples support the claim that the case opened broadcasting to public participation. People can now raise a range of concerns at licensing proceedings, not just the concern that prompted the church's case.
- B
We're told what people can discuss, not how closely they must monitor broadcasters. “Vigilance” adds a duty to watch for problems that these examples don't establish.
- C
The topics don't explain the timing of hearings. Renewals occur every three years; listing subjects discussed at those hearings doesn't explain why that schedule exists.
- D
These aren't additional charges against the Mississippi station. They're issues now discussed at licensing proceedings more broadly.
- E
No other station's misconduct is identified here. A topic people may raise, such as violence, isn't itself proof that another station failed its obligations.
