Answer 1

Answer: a. Television engages students more directly, while reading literature helps develop students' imaginations.

Explanation:
One can never equate the pleasure one gets by doing the same stuff on TV when reading a good novel. Once you read a novel you are transported to a place beyond what you learn from the text that you build for yourself! You feel in love with the roles you imagine for yourself. When you get to see a pre-created universe in the TV shows and films. Your creativity is brought to even less use. On the other side, because you have read a novel and have seen a film made from the same plot, you can find too many scenes that are lacking. They format a whole book in three hours, to suit it.
