Under the influence of today’s computer-oriented culture, publishing for children has taken on a flashy new look that emphasizes illustrations and graphic design; the resulting lack of substance leads to books that are short-lived items covering mainly trendy subjects. The changes also include more humorous content, simplification of difficult material, and a narrower focus on specific topics.

Summary
Publishing for children has changed. It has been influenced by computer-oriented culture. Publishing emphasizes a flashy look that causes a lack of substance, which leads to short-lived, trend-focused books. The books have also changed to be more humorous, simple, and narrow.

Strongly Supported Conclusions
Computer-oriented culture has changed today’s publishing for children.
The changes cause a lack of substance.
The lack of substance results in short lived books.
The culture-driven changes in children’s books have also made those books more humorous, simpler, and narrower in subject matter.

A
The inclusion of humorous material and a narrower focus detract from the substance of a children’s book.
Unsupported. These changes have all occurred alongside each other, but nothing in the stimulus suggests that the humor and narrower focus are causes of the decreased substance.
B
The substance of a children’s book is important to its longevity.
Strongly supported. The reason given for why the books are short-lived is that they lack substance. The lack of substance “leads” to the poor longevity.
C
Children of the computer generation cannot concentrate on long, unbroken sections of prose.
Unsupported. The stimulus discusses the changes in publishing for children, but does not consider the actual children’s concentration.
D
Children judge books primarily on the basis of graphic design.
Unsupported. The stimulus discusses the changes in publishing for children, but does not consider how the actual children evaluate books.
E
The lack of substance of a children’s book is unlikely to be important to its popularity.
Unsupported. There is no evidence to conclude anything about what makes a children’s book popular, but we do know the lack of substance will hurt longevity.
