Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Exposure to television violence might lower viewers' inhibitions against violent behavior. Such exposure might also provide information about how to aggress, and trigger imitation of violent models. Violent television might make feelings of anger or frustration more available to viewer; in essence, violent images might prime aggression. Excessive viewing of violent television might cause viewers to become less sensitive to violence and less sympathetic to victims of violence. Finally, watching lots of television tends to make people think that the world is a mean place, and thus fosters the tendency to think, I'll get you before you get me.
