MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Television has been the primary source of information and entertainment for most Americans over the last 50 years. However, with Internet use on the rise year after year, some may wonder if surfing the net will soon surpass watching television as Americans’ primary leisure activity. Indeed, some recent surveys show that time spent on the Internet is now greater than time spent in front of the television. However, this statistic may not tell the whole story, as 59% of Americans say they multitask, using the Internet and watching TV simultaneously. The main idea of the passage is that television

is only one of many information sources

may have become less popular than the Internet

is watched by more people now than ever before

focuses more on entertainment than on news
