9、nd impacts the choices that people make.The media has led to a general opinion that thin is in and fat is out.”可知，媒体影响公众的观点以及人们所做出的选择，媒体导致公众认为“瘦是时尚，胖是落伍”，这使得肥胖的人觉得自己格格不入，于是他们准备饿肚子来减肥，从而导致饮食紊乱。由此可知，媒体会使人们形成有关美的错误观念。故选A。2Which word can replace the underlined part“filter out”in Paragraph 2?AAccept.BCon
