The sentence says the media repeats a "conventional idea" so people will passively accept it. The phrase "same tired" suggests a cliché or overused theme.
- A. auguries - omens or prophecies - not fitting here.
- B. epiphanies - sudden realizations - opposite of "tired" repetition.
- C. tropes - common or overused themes - fits perfectly.
- D. anodynes - things that relieve pain - irrelevant.
- E. deceptions - tricks or lies - possible, but "tired" suggests clichés more than outright lies.
"Tropes" is the best match for "same tired" repeated conventional ideas.
