Question

5. How does the verdict in the court case support the study's conclusion about the effects of viewing violent video games?

A. The jury agreed that watching violent videos had long-term effects and was a defense for murder.
B. The jury agreed that the murder could not have been caused by the short-term effects of watching violent videos.
C. The jury agreed that the short-term effects of violent videos were to blame because the murder happened immediately after the defendant watched a violent video.
D. The jury agreed that violent videos affected children only, so the defendant was found guilty because he was not a child.​

Answer 1

B. The jury agreed that the murder could not have been caused by the short-term effects of watching violent videos.

This conclusion supports the study's conclusion that violent video games have long-term effects on those who watch them.

It suggests that the effects of violent video games are not necessarily immediate, which is what the study concluded.
