IV. Reading comprehension (1.5 pts)

One of the main sources for the spreading of news and events throughout the world is the newspaper.
The purpose of newspapers is to inform the public of political, social economic and entertainment
happenings, among other things .Generally, there are three types of newspapers: daily newspapers,
weekly newspapers, and special-interest newspapers. Daily newspapers publish at least one edition
every weekday. Most dailies also have a weekend edition. Daily newspapers often have sections for
news, sports, arts and entertainment, business and classified advertising. Weekly newspapers print
once a week and cover news of interest to readers in a smaller area than that of a daily paper. They
