The two most typical motivators in reality television are fame and money. Waitresses, hairdressers, investment bankers, counsellors, and teachers, to name a few, are transformed from unknowns to household names on the shows. Only a select handful are able to turn their fifteen minutes of fame into celebrity. Reality TV's luckiest stars also make a lot of money for doing things like eating giant insects, marrying someone they barely know, and exposing their innermost thoughts to millions of people. This paragraph provides the strongest evidence for the claim that
A. Reality television performers aspire to be wealthy and famous.
B. Reality television is the best thing to hit network television in a long time.
C. Reality television programming is rapidly replacing classic dramas and sitcoms.
D. Reality shows are the latest in a long line of sensationalistic, low-quality television.
