Which statement primarily appeals to ethos to support the position that reality television has little artistic value?As noted by musician Elton John, reality television is "killing talent" in the entertainment business.Because reality television shows generate massive audiences and are relatively cheap and easy to produce, it is evident that their producers have little incentive to make these shows artistically compelling.Viewers stay glued to the television as they feed their appetites for drama and suffering, but this activity does nothing to improve their minds or elevate their spirits.Submit

Turn on the television any evening and you will most likely find a so-called "reality" show on at least one of the major networks. These shows usually include some kind of competition or offer a glimpse at the "real lives" of people. Often the "reality" revealed in the reality shows has been edited and changed in order to make it more dramatic—and less like real life. So why are we so obsessed with watching "reality" shows when we could be enjoying our own lives?     Ask people who watch reality shows, and they will tell you something like "It's interesting to see these people compete" or "I like to see what another person's life is like." But when these shows are edited and rearranged for dramatic effect, viewers are not really getting a glimpse of another person's life. Reality shows, even the competitions, are still first and foremost money makers for networks. If that means a producer has to make an argument look more dramatic or make one contestant look cruel and conniving, so be it.     The next time you get suckered into watching a reality or competition show with your friends, think twice about the drama you witness on the screen. Consider reading a book or going out with friends instead. And remember that your reality is far more real than any television show.11Select the correct answer.Read the sentences from the passage.Reality shows, even the competitions, are still first and foremost money makers for networks.
