Question Type:
Logical Completion (complete the analogy)
Stimulus Breakdown:
Video games are currently criticized for letting people imagine immoral behavior. Similar criticisms were leveled against novels, movies, and rock music in their early stages. Nowadays, we would currently find it silly to suggest that reading novels is morally corrupting, so .....
Answer Anticipation:
... One day we'll find it silly to think that video games are morally corrupting?
Correct Answer:
C
Answer Choice Analysis:
(A) "MOST new forms of popular culture" is weirdly specific and broad. This doesn't tie back to video games the way we want our answer to, in order to complete the analogy of "Just as X, so too is Y"
(B) What we should PREFER is out of scope. This is about what is / isn't morally corrupting.
(C) YES, this sounds like "one day we will find this video game criticism silly, too"
(D) This sounds like the opposite of our author. Our author is NOT worried about the morally corrupting nature of pop culture.
(E) Our author might agree with this part of the common criticism; she just doesn't agree with the idea that we need to be worried that video games are therefore morally corrupting (because we previously thought the same about novels and wouldn't call them morally corrupting). This definitely doesn't complete the analogy either.
Takeaway/Pattern: A lot of fill in the blank (Logical Completion) have a Complete the Analogy structure.
A is X and B is X.
So since A is also Y .... (B is also Y).
Both video games and novels/movies/rock had the trait of being criticized for letting people imagine immoral behavior.
Since that was a silly criticism for novels/movies/rock, .... (it will be a silly criticism for video gams).
