Answer 1

The two correct answers for the persuasive technique being used in the advertisement are:

• identification: This technique connects the audience with a shared identity as fans of the team, fostering a sense of belonging and community.

• flattering the audience: By stating that the team's fans are the best, it flatters the audience and makes them feel good about their support for the team, enhancing their emotional connection.

So the correct responses are identification and flattering the audience.
