Greater knowledge/understanding?
Is understanding or knowledge suitable for (17):
TV, although not essential, has become a(n) (16)_____ part of most people’s lives. It has become a baby- sitter, an initiator of conversations, a major transmitter of culture, and a keeper of traditions. Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that TV is not a teacher but a sustainer. The poor (17)____ of programs does not elevate people into greater (18)____, but rather maintains and encourages the status quo.
The key says 'understanding', but I haven't been able to find out the reason. Please help!
Thanks in advance.

'understanding' would be my answer. As the sentence is talking about comprehension of programs for the purpose of elevation. The word 'knowledge' would imply a choice of programs.

Sorry but I still don't understand it. What do you mean by "knowledge implies a choice of programs"?

'The poor Knowledge of programs..' in that sentence would mean the people do not know what to watch on the TV.
'The poor Understanding of programs..' in the sentence means the people do not comprehend what they watch, which is why the sentence carries on to say....'does not elevate people'. The sentence is telling you that the people are not elevated be
