Read the passage below and choose the best answer A,B,C, or D to answer the questions: TELEVISION Here in Egypt, television has a powerful hold over people's minds. It is an instrument of leisure, of information and - to a very limited extent - of culture. It does not stop people reading newspapers or books, going to the cinema or theatre or watching videos. But these activities are occasional, irregular and ultimately of secondary importance. Television is one of the main subjects of conversation, at school, in offices, at home and in the street, as well as being written about in all the newspapers. It might be said that the main objective of television is to persuade the maximum number of people to watch it for the maximum amount of time. And how effectively the sitcoms and soap operas do that! I do not think that I have ever seen any other country so totally dominated by these shows. Some of them are Egyptians productions but the majority is American. Each episode, each programme, is a talking point for everyone, young and old alike. 81. Which is the main idea of the passage? A . Television, an instrument of leisure. B.
