Many armed conflicts have been fully or partly resolved with ceasefire agreements, and others have lessened in intensity due to the fatigue of the combating forces, so it is probably that the low number of articles is due to a decline in armed conflict in Africa.Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the analyst's argument? Every story about armed conflict in Africa that was submitted to air last year was aired. The time it takes to research, write, and air a journalistic report of an armed conflict has declined over the last several years. The number of total stories aired on television news programs in the nation was the same last year as in previous years. A single armed conflict can easily lead to newsworthy developments justifying a large number of stories aired on television. Just prior to last year, several major news shows revised certain prohibitions against airing stories about armed conflict in Africa. Review Answer
