What message do you think the media portrays to young girls?

• A. Social media is harmful to girls' self-image
• B. Beauty is more than skin deep, and a good heart matters
• C. Beauty is unimportant in society
• D. Beauty comes from wealth

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how media tends to frame what matters to young girls—especially the mix of outer appearance and inner character. The best choice expresses a balanced and uplifting message: beauty isn’t limited to how you look, and having a good heart matters just as much. This reflects a common, constructive view in media where inner values are celebrated alongside appearance, encouraging kindness, integrity, and self-worth.

Other messages exist in media, but they don’t fit as well. Saying beauty is purely harmful or unimportant ignores the many stories that still spotlight appearance in some way. Saying beauty comes from wealth pushes a narrow, material standard that isn’t what this option emphasizes. So the statement that beauty is more than skin deep and that a good heart matters best captures the positive, aspirational message often portrayed to young girls.
