Which sentence best completes the diagram?

a. the public has an easier time selecting the right candidate.
b. advertising allows candidates to directly reach voters.
c. the public is distracted from real issues.
d. campaigns with more money can reach more voters.

The correct answer is C) The public is distracted from real issues.

The sentence that best completes the diagram is the public is distracted from real issues.

It makes total sense when the diagram is completed. First, candidates pledge to focus on positive messages in their advertisements. That means, conveying the right message for the audiences to capture their attention. Then, many run attack ads about their opponents. That means that instead of ideas or specific topics on how to benefit the voter or solve problems, candidates send messages to attack and criticize their opponents. The diagram then ends with the last part that is the public is distracted from the real issues, which means that the audience is distracted. Instead of focusing on what is important, the ideas, the solutions, candidates try to deviate the attention of the public with these attacks.
