question 17 of 25
think about the gaming industry as a whole. why is it important that there is
diversity in the types of characters found in games?

a. diversity in character choices makes games less interactive for
players.

b. diversity in character choices reduces the overall educational
value of games.

c. a lack of diversity in character choices limits the ability of people
with impairments to become gamers.

d. a lack of diversity in character choices makes games look and feel
the same and limits their potential audience.

Explanation:

• Option A: Diversity should enhance interactivity, not reduce it, so A is wrong.
• Option B: Diverse characters can increase educational value (e.g., representing different cultures/abilities), so B is wrong.
• Option C: Diversity in characters isn't directly related to impairments affecting gaming ability in this context, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: A lack of diversity would make games monotonous, appealing to fewer people (limiting audience), which is a valid reason for the importance of diverse characters.

Answer:

D. A lack of diversity in character choices makes games look and feel the same and limits their potential audience.
