Read the selection, and then answer the question. (There are 5 questions about this selection.) Before there was TV, Americans gathered around their radios daily to listen to the news and more. In the 1930s and 1940s, mystery shows, like Sam Spade and The Shadow, were favorites with young and old alike. Every week people tuned in to hear the top tunes on Your Hit Parade. And on Sunday mornings, radio stars read the comics aloud to kids. Did you think soap operas were a TV phenomenon? No way! They started on radio. Do you know why they were called "soap operas"? Most shows were sponsored by soap companies and, because characters had many problems, people said the stories were like operas, most of which don't have happy endings! Because there were no pictures to show what was going on, radio required people to use their imaginations. So, as a sportscaster described the action, people had to imagine "he hits a pop fly high into the infield, the shortstop moves in . . . reaches . . . grabs it . . . throws to second . . . and he's out!" Not only did they picture it, many people cheered as if they were right there in the stadium! Which best states the main idea of the article?

- B.
