Use the excerpt from the "How Nellie Bly went undercover to expose abuse of the mentally ill" article to answer the question.

Question

Which of the following ideas does this evidence from the text support?
• Psychiatrists knew their secrets were being exposed and were trying to do "damage control" to repair their image.
• Psychiatrists were overwhelmed with patients and could not conduct their practice thoroughly.
• Psychiatrists were trying to stop information about their practice at the asylum from reaching the public.
• Psychiatrists did not care about their patients and found them to be a nuisance.

Answer 1

To accurately answer your question, I would need to refer directly to the excerpt from the article. However, based on the context of Nellie Bly's investigation into the treatment of mentally ill patients, the evidence could suggest that psychiatrists were concerned about their image and the public's perception of their practices, which would support the idea that they were trying to do "damage control" to repair their image.

If you can provide specific details or quotes from the excerpt, I could give a more precise analysis of which idea is best supported by the text.
