Answer 1

To find the total number of men surveyed, we need to add the number of men who preferred documentaries to the number of men who preferred dramas.

From the table:

• Men who preferred documentaries: 35
• Men who preferred dramas: 15

Now, we add these two numbers together:

35 (Documentary) + 15 (Drama) = 50

So, the total number of men surveyed is 50.

The correct answer is 50 men.
