Answer 1

The advertisement that seems more reasonable is:

Buy two bottles of soda and get one soda free.

This offer is a common promotional tactic in retail, where purchasing a certain quantity of a product can yield an additional item at no cost.

On the other hand, the offer of buying two bottles of soda and getting a free trip to Disney World is much less plausible and likely requires a much larger expenditure than just two bottles of soda.
