1. A

2. C

3. C

4. B

Explanation:

1. A

"They do not trust the images from space as they believe those images and the media as well as the fovernment are conspiring to control our minds."

The majority of this article explains flat-earthers do not trust the government nor the media. They do not believe in the proof the government feeds them. They believe "globe-heads are under the spell of a conspiracy theory." A fits the description of flat-earthers best.

2. C

Acknowledging conflicting ideas means to explain how these ideas came to life and the rational reasoning behind it. The author briefly mentions trauma relating to the conflicting belief, but this is not acknowledging their ideas. The entire article talks about him trying to talk reason with flat-earthers, but they simply do not trust his sources. The author also provides how flat-earthers justify their own beliefs.

"Since . . . anyone can post anything, information can be found to prove or disprove almost any theory."

3. C

As previously stated, the author tries providing the people with facts, but they disregard those because it is "cited information from official sources." Official sources are controlled by the government, a body flat-earthers don't trust.

4. B

All three quotes were used in the text, but only one of them supports the author's argument. By citing information from "official sources," the author is providing reliable evidence for his argument. The other two quotes support flat-earthers as it's validating their beliefs instead.
