Answer C.

To evaluate a piece of media means to judge the purpose and message in a thoughtful way. The purpose is the reason, the intention; and the message is the content, so after analysing carefully, it is possible to conclude the quality of a piece of media.

A, B and D use actions (Express; Disseminate and Communicate) that are related to the actual fact of writing or spreading the news.

answer: i am not sure but i think you should go for c

explanation:

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
