Question

why does postman compare watching tv to a game of peek - a - boo?
a. because each boosts cognitive abilities
b. because each appeals mainly to children
c. because each offers sensory experiences
d. because each is entertaining

Explanation:

Neil Postman's comparison links TV and peek-a-boo to their reliance on immediate sensory stimuli (visual/auditory for TV, visual for peek-a-boo) over deep cognitive engagement, aligning with the focus on sensory experiences in option C. Other options are incorrect: A misrepresents Postman’s critique of TV’s cognitive impact; B is false as TV appeals to all ages; D is too vague (entertainment is not the core of his specific comparison).

Answer:

C. Because each offers sensory experiences
