The example of persuasive language that would demonstrate a manipulation of evidence if the writers were to add it to the advertisement is:
“Other brands can cause back and knee problems.”
This statement suggests a negative outcome associated with competitor products without providing evidence to support the claim, thus manipulating the audience's perception by instilling fear and promoting the advertised sneakers as the preferred solution.
