Question
Select the ONE snippet in the reprinted passage below that details the dangers of "native advertisements."
Native advertisements—or ads craftily designed to mimic editorial content—are a relatively new source of revenue for news outlets.
Native ads are intended to resemble the look of news stories, complete with eye-catching visuals and data displays. But, as with all
advertisements, their purpose is to promote, not inform. Our task assessed whether students could identify who was behind an article
and consider how that source might influence the article’s content. Successful students recognized that the oil company’s post was an
advertisement for the company itself and reasoned that, because the company had a vested interest in fossil fuels, it was less likely to
be an objective source than a news item on the same topic.
