PLEASE HELP Which evidence from the Newsela article "Health Benefits of Reading, Writing, Are Not Just for Patients" supports the central ideas that reading can help people better understand one another and that reading can help improve people's feelings about their own lives?

Select the two correct answers.

"For example, think of fairy tales that teach moral lessons. Or religious texts that wrestle with valleys of despair and mountains of hope, or poetry that cleanses the writer’s soul."

"He found that children and adults who have read stories their whole lives were more likely to correctly identify the feelings and thoughts of others than those who do not read regularly."

"Coke points to books such as Frank McCourt’s Angela’s Ashes. In that book the author writes about growing up poor in 1930s and ’40s Ireland."

"'We learn through the experiences of the characters we read about,' Coke says. 'Because we empathize, or feel what others are feeling, we expand our understanding of other people in other situations. We are also less bothered by our own misfortunes.'"

Read the following excerpt from "harrison bergeron" by kurt vonnegut: he tried to think a little about the ballerinas. they weren't really very good-no better than anybody else would have been, anyway. they were burdened with sashweights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in. george was toying with the vague notion that maybe dancers shouldn't be handicapped. but he didn't get very far with it before another noise in his ear radio scattered his thoughts. what message about the role of media is best supported in this excerpt? a. media are the reason george is able to watch ballet. b. media change people's values, making them more selfish. c. media tend to make audiences' worldviews the same. d. media can be used to distract audiences from the truth.
