Question

The “Read Books, Share the Love” advertisement effectively convinces people to read more books. The advertisement targets parents of young children. In the ad, a mother and father are reading a book to their two young children. Most parents certainly would want their children to do well academically. This ad effectively encourages literacy.

Which of the following revisions would most improve this paragraph?
correcting punctuation and spelling errors
better explaining the target audience
discussing techniques used in the ad
reorganizing the order of the content

Answer 1

discussing techniques used in the ad

Rationale: The paragraph asserts the ad is effective but doesn't explain why. Describing specific persuasive techniques (emotional appeal, imagery of parents reading, implied academic benefits) would support the claim and make the paragraph more convincing.
