Question

study the editorial cartoon by john branch.
what is the cartoonist’s purpose in this editorial cartoon?
○ to warn people about incoming bad weather
○ to make a satire about how many reporters cover bad weather
○ to tell readers that proper weather gear is important
○ to explain that reporters are forced to do risky work

Explanation:

The cartoon shows a reporter saying people should stay inside to avoid being hit by flying objects, but then "flying" T.V. reporters are shown hitting others. This is a satirical take on the large number of reporters covering bad weather (implying there are so many they become the "flying" hazards). The other options don't fit: it's not a weather warning, about gear, or about reporters being forced (it's mocking the quantity of reporters, not their forced work).

Answer:

B. to make a satire about how many reporters cover bad weather
