Question

which of the following headlines would be the best example of the yellow journalism of the late 1800s?
villainous spain starves innocent cubans
the uss maine arrives safely in havana
spain rejects us offer to help in achieving peace
thousands of cuban revolutionaries held in jails

Explanation:

Yellow journalism is characterized by sensationalism and exaggeration. The headline "Villainous Spain Starves Innocent Cubans" uses strong, emotive language ("villainous") and makes a dramatic claim, which is typical of yellow journalism. It aims to stir up public sentiment. The other headlines are more factual or neutral in tone. For example, "The USS Maine Arrives Safely in Havana" is a simple statement of an event. "Spain Rejects US Offer to Help in Achieving Peace" is a report of a diplomatic action. "Thousands of Cuban Revolutionaries Held in Jails" is a statement of a situation but without the same level of sensationalism as the first headline.

Answer:

"Villainous Spain Starves Innocent Cubans"
