The headine appears to accurately represent the news story O B. The headline is exaggerating the results given in the story The headine uses a bigger figure for the amount of drugs in movies than the figure given in the story C. The headine is downplaying the resuits presented in the story, because the government produced the study O D. The headline refers to drugs whereas the story refers to "drug use, dninking, or smoking" The headline is very misleading because the term "drugs" is generally considered to consist of drugs other than cigarettes or alcohol. Also, all movies consist of more than just the top movie rentals

Explanation / Answer

Claim by the government study:

Drug use, Drinking or Smoking was depicted in 98% of the top movie rentals

Claim by the headline:

Drugs shown in 98% of the movies

Here is the difference:

The headline talks about drugs alone and that too in movies in general

The study talks about use of drugs, smoking or drinking and it talks about this happening in the top movie rentals only

So, that will be answer choice (D)
