Read the paragraph.
violence in video games is essentially to blame for violence
in our society. when children are bombarded with monstrous
images, they begin to think that these types of actions are
normal or acceptable. children and teenagers are spending
excessive numbers of hours playing video games, and they
may begin to use them as a guideline for how to act and
behave. even if they do not perform violent actions, they
may become less sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of
others because of what they see reflected in these games. what effect does the word bombarded have on the paragraph?
1)it emphasizes the author's belief that violent video games
are filled with excessive images of violence.
2)it suggests that the author is opposed to all types of video
games that contain any hint of violence.
3)it reflects the author's view that children and teenagers
play violent video games for far too many hours.
4)it shows that the author blames all violence in the world
on repeated exposure to violent video games.

"When children are bombarded with monstrous images,"

The author is clearly very passionate about this topic, (although, my personal opinion defies them,) and they see the need to express it vividly with great vocabulary.

Let's summarize this with process of elimination:

1) It emphasizes the author's belief that violent video games are filled with excessive images of violence.

Yes, this is exactly what she is saying here. But let's continue.

2) It suggests that the author is opposed to all types of video games that contain any hint of violence.

This is called "exaggerating," the author has not made this claim.

3) It reflects the author's view that children and teenagers play violent video games for far too many hours.

While this is a point she makes in her argument, it is not why she used the word "bombarded."

4) It shows that the author blames all violence in the world on repeated exposure to violent video games.

This is another example of "exaggerating," the author has not made this claim.

The answer is A
