as when 意思是就像……的时候。举例的意思。

it 指的是television

谢谢你，挺明白的，那it claims to怎么翻,总觉得这句子翻得挺变扭，还请指教，谢谢！

ARCHER420

it claim to宣称，标榜的意思啊

尽管电视媒体一直标榜深入探讨政治问题，.....

delve into....不常见的短语，我也不知道什么意思。不过后面有superficial，可以通过although的让步语气推断这个短语的意思恰好与superficial相反。

明白了，谢谢你哦

可是C有何不妥呢？

因为原句是when被改成if,改变句意了

lisaluan

if引导条件从句，means只在这种情况（三电视台。。。），电视才superficial，而原文提到三电视台。。。，只是一个举例还有其他的很多情况。

此题经典的是each
each of+Vs，名复+each+v

delve into研究钻研=investigate
