a2. click on the logical inference
a. the cartoonist wishes to emphasize how television keeps children from more active play
b. the cartoonist means to emphasize the childrens creativity in building a realistic sand sculpture.
c. the cartoonist wishes to emphasize that outdoor play provides good exercise for children

Explanation:

The cartoon shows children sitting on the beach, focused on a sand - made TV instead of engaging in more active beach play like building with the sand tools (shovels, bucket) around them. This visual implies that the "TV" (even a sand - made one) is a distraction from more active play.

• Option a: There is no indication in the cartoon about television in general keeping children from active play. The sand - TV is a creative element, not a real TV.
• Option b: The children are not really building a realistic sand sculpture. They are using the sand to make a TV - like structure, which is more of a commentary on being fixated on a "screen" (even a sand - one) rather than on creativity in sculpture.
• Option c: The cartoon does not emphasize outdoor play as exercise. The focus is on the children's interaction with the sand - TV.

Answer:

B. The cartoonist means to emphasize how television keeps children from more active play.
