Question 9 • ARC English 10 Semester 2 CR/Summer

Which statement is false?

Answer

When technology brings advancements in new media, the old media forms disappear completely from society.

When technology makes a medium accessible to the masses, that medium and its technology can have a profound impact on how a society views itself and the world.

The medium can impact how many people are exposed to a certain event or story.

How a story is played out through the media can depend on the biases of those who tell the story.

Explanation

New media do not necessarily make older media disappear completely. Older forms often continue alongside newer ones, even if their popularity or use changes. The other statements describe ways media can affect society, how widely stories are shared, and how storytellers’ biases influence how events are presented.
