Question

You won't believe how easy it is for burglars to break into your home!!!
If you don't have a security system for your house, then you, your family, and all of your valuable possessions are at risk. Home invasions affect 12% of Americans each year-don't be one of them! If your things go missing, dealing with insurance companies is a hassle and they may not even reimburse you. And if anything were to happen to you or your family during a home invasion, there's no reimbursement in the world that could make up for your suffering.
With a SafeHouse™ security system, burglars, kidnappers, and home invaders will be scared off by a loud sound and the police will be summoned to your house immediately. There's no such thing as a false alarm-unless you go with a low-quality brand of security system.

Answer 1

by using emotionally charged language

The passage uses fear and vivid consequences (risk to family, suffering, home invasion) to make readers worry and thus more open to the security-system pitch.
