Discussion

Explanation:

Though the use of hypermedia is mentioned in the passage, Bernie Madoff’s arrest has not been attributed to it. This eliminates option 1.
The media’s treatment of Madoff’s family has been spoken of in the passage but this is not sufficient reason to infer that the media runs parallel trials. This eliminates option 3.
The passage reiterates the fact that Madoff’s family has not been proven guilty. This eliminates option 4.
Option 2 is supported by “The treatment over the years of organized-crime defendants is instructive.”
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
