Read the following informational text and answer the question that follows:

“Currently the production and attendance of live theatre is declining in the United States. This makes sense because we have a replacement for live theater that is better in every way: the television. TV offers the same thing as live theater plus addition benefits. There is no reason to go the theater when you can get the same experience from the comfort of your own home whenever you want.”

Which of the following is a well-written response to informational text that uses the best counterargument and persuasive language?

A. While there may be a television in every home, there is no replacement for live theater. The author of this piece claims that TV offers the same thing as theater. What were you doing the last time you were watching TV? Were there detracting noises? Did you look at your phone? Were you alone? None of this will happen in a live theater show. As my friend Joe says, “Television is not great these days.” Only in the theater will you get an experience where you are close to the action. You share the experience with those in the audience. It could be different every time you see it. Television may be more popular than theater, but it can never replace it.
B. "The author of this piece mentions the benefits of television. However, consider what Ronald Dahl said, ‘So please, oh please, we beg, we pray, go throw your TV set away, and in its place you can install a lovely bookshelf on the wall.’ It is easy to agree, as books are far superior to television. In television there are miscasting, poor performances, and commercial breaks. However, with books you are only inhibited by your own imagination.”
C. While there may be a television in every home, there is no replacement for live theater. The author of this piece claims that TV offers the same experience as theater. What were you doing the last time you were watching TV? Were there detracting noises? Did you look at your phone? Were you alone? None of this will happen in a live theater show. As author P.S. Barber says, “The stage is a magic circle where only the most real things happen, a neutral territory outside the jurisdiction of Fate where stars may be crossed with impunity. A truer and more real place does not exist in all the universe.” Only in the theater will you get an experience where you are close to the action. You share the experience with those in the audience. It could be different every time you see it. Television may be more popular than theater, but it can never replace it.
D. Television is the lowest form of entertainment. There are just too many disadvantages. For one, you can't create art, when it is interrupted by commercials. Second, there are so many rules regarding content and censorship that it cannot be an honest expression. Lastly the goal of television is to make money, not to create art.
