Playwrights entertain people with their stories, dialogue, and characters. They write so that their work can be portrayed on the theatrical stage and can be seen by an audience. For many writers, having their work shown on the Broadway or London stage is a triumph. However, success on the stage can be fleeting for some playwrights. On Broadway, plays and musicals sometimes only last for a few weeks. Harsh critics can damage the play's reputation and make it difficult for the play to find an audience. But, for the lucky few playwrights, their work can last for years.
Neil Simon is one of the fortunate playwrights to achieve major success on Broadway. In 1961, Come Blow Your Horn was Simon's first play to open on Broadway. It ran for 678 performances at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. Following this achievement, Simon had four shows running simultaneously in 1966. The shows were Sweet Charity, The Odd Couple, The Star-Spangled Girl, and Barefoot in the Park. Simon's writing for Lost in Yonkers even gave him the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1991. The play focused on the dynamics of a family living in Yonkers, New York. It also showed how the family members negatively affected each other.
In addition, to Simon's success on Broadway, he also was a notable screenwriter. He adapted many of his plays into film. Simon's The Odd Couple was one of his winning adaptations. The storyline has become a part of popular culture. It was a hit on Broadway because the story focused on two mismatched roommates, who live with each other after their divorces. They were originally played by Art Carney and Walter Matthau. Following that, Simon wrote the script so that the play could be translated onto the big screen. Because of its popularity, the play's concept also became a television series, which lasted five years. The show aired on ABC with minor changes from the play. The television scripts were not written by Simon himself. There are still few revivals of The Odd Couple on the stage and in television.

Which detail from the passage supports the claim that Neil Simon achieved success in different media?
A.
He adapted many of his plays into film.
B.
The show aired on ABC with minor changes from the play.
C.
Simon's The Odd Couple was one of his winning adaptations.
D.
It was a hit on Broadway because the story focused on two mismatched roommates, who live with each other after their divorces.

Among the answer choices, the one that shows Simon achieved success in different media is option C, "Simon's The Odd Couple was one of his winning adaptations."

First, we need to understand that a claim is basically a statement or an affirmation about something. It usually refers to the author's opinion about a certain topic. Claims need to be strengthened by evidence, support.

For this question, the claim is that playwright Neil Simon was successful in different media, that is, besides Broadway. At first, we might think option A is a good answer choice, but it is not evidence of his success. It merely states that he adapt plays into film.

Options B and D do not support the claim, so we can leave them aside. We are left with option C. Now, this statement truly supports our claim because it proves not only that Simon made attempts in other media but also that he was successful. So much so that he got awards for it.

With that in mind, option C is our answer.

excerpt from Remarks by the President on Promoting Community Broadband
by Barack Obama
When I first came into office and we were trying to make sure that we prevented a Great Depression but also start building some foundations
for long-term growth, we built or improved more than 113,000 miles of network infrastructure throughout the country....
But-and this is why I'm here-we've still got a lot of work to do. Right now, about 45 million Americans cannot purchase next-generation
broadband. And that next generation of broadband creates connections that are six or seven times faster than today's basic speeds. And by the
way, only about half of rural Americans can log on at that super-fast rate.
