Tallulah: The columnist attributes the decline of interest in novels to consumerism, technology, and the laziness of people who prefer watching television to reading a novel. However, in reaching this conclusion, the columnist has overlooked important evidence. It is surely relevant that contemporary fiction is frequently of poor quality -- indeed, much of it is meaningless and depressing -- whereas many good newspapers, magazines, professional journals, and books of other types are currently available. Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main conclusion of Tallulah's argument? ['People read as much as they used to, but most of the works they now read are not novels.', 'Contemporary fiction is unpopular because it is meaningless, depressing, and of poor overall quality.', 'A large number of high-quality newspapers, magazines, professional journals, and nonfiction books are currently published.', 'The view expressed by the columnist was formed without considering all of the pertinent evidence.']
