Answer:-(3)linking emotions and rational behavior without considering the mediation of social institutions.
Note:-The author critiques Schiller for focusing on the direct relationship between emotions, perceptions, and behavior while excluding the mediating role of institutions such as political parties, media organizations, and lobby groups. The passage states that these institutions historically played a vital role in framing perceptions and legitimizing interests, which Schiller’s narrative leaves out. | | |
