Show Solution
The Correct Option isC
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Read what is being asked.
I search for the word chosen in the passage and read the sentence around it.
Step 2: Go back to the passage.
The word chosen appears once, next to the words earlier analysis and status quo explanation. Everything else about the show is just description.
Step 3: Test the choice "The program was chosen because it was a British TV program" (option 1).
Fails. Where the show came from is a fact about it, not the reason it was selected.
Step 4: Test the choice "The program was chosen because it was a news magazine" (option 2).
Fails. Its format is again a fact about it, and the passage does not say this was why.
Step 5: Test the choice "The program was chosen because earlier analysis identified it as a program that offered status quo explanation" (option 3).
Passes. It repeats the reason in the sentence that uses the word chosen.
Step 6: Test the choice "The program was chosen because it had discussions" (option 4).
Fails. The discussions were done by viewer groups after the programme, and were not the cause of selection.
Final Answer:
Option 3 repeats the reason given in the passage.
\[ \boxed{\text{Option 3}} \]
