Answer 1

The first option seems to best convey the different tones expressed in the two articles.

In "Cameras in the Courtroom," the phrase "supported the ban" can imply a sense of approval or acceptance, which aligns with a pleased tone regarding the viewpoint of those favoring the restriction of cameras. In contrast, "stuck in old ways" from "Challenging the Status Quo" conveys a sense of frustration and stagnation, implying that people are unwilling to embrace change or progress.

While the other options mention concerns, distractions, arrogance, analysis, and hope, the distinctions in tone regarding approval versus frustration are most clearly articulated in the first option.
