Question 1

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

Reality television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and features ordinary people rather than professional actors. Although the genre has existed in some form or another since the early years of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000. Part of reality television's appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations. Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, in talent and performance programmes such as Pop Idol, though frequently "Survivor" and "Big Brother" participants also reach some degree of celebrity.

Producers specifically select the participants and use carefully designed scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviour and conflicts.
