Question

-President Roosevelt called her `` Little Miss Miracle``. During the Great Depression, ``Shirley could make people believe, if only for 90 minutes, that there were no problems in the world`` said a fellow child star, Dickie Moore. `` Shirley Temple represented, for many, the epitome of childhood goodness and sentiment, a beacon of hope for the future of America and the physical embodiment of the perfect child``, wrote a British sociologist, Jane Catherine O`Connor. At the peak of her fame in the mid-1930s there were Shirley Temple dolls, dresses, notebooks, soap, sheet music, and china. There was a nonalcoholic cocktail – ginger ale with a touch of grenadine, topped with a maraschino cherry – named for her. She almost single-handedly led 20th Century Fox, her studio, back to profitability. She was awarded an honorary Oscar in 1934. When British editor and film critic Graham Greene wrote in a 1937 review that the 8-year-old Temple was an ``adult impersonating a child`` 20th Century Fox sued and Greene`s magazine ended up out of business. In 1940, when Shirley was pushing 13, 20th Century Fox decided not to renew her contract, which was OK with Temple and her family.
According to the text, which of the alternatives below is correct?
a) Graham Greene tried to slander Shirley Temple`s image. He was sued by her and her studio and he ended up going bankrupt.
b) Shirley Temple`s image was so blemished after Graham Greene`s attack that her studio decided not to renew her contract in 1940.
c) Shirley Temple was one of a few example of unanimity – everybody simply loved her – she was even called ``a beacon of hope for the future of America and the physical embodiment of the perfect child``.
