Read this sentence from the passage:. . Buy, sell, and trade on the Internet, and become a millionaire overnight!. . Which propaganda technique is used in this sentence? A. bandwagon B. glittering generalities C. faulty cause and effect D. snob appeal
It's obvious that propaganda technique which is used in this sentence is called C. faulty cause and effect
Answer:
C. Faulty cause and effect
Explanation:
The faulty cause and effect technique occurs when the propaganda suggests that because one event follows another, the first event caused the second, in other words: Because B follows A, A must cause B, which it's not necessarily true, sometimes one thing follows another just because of circumstantial reasons.
The propaganda "Buy, sell, and trade on the Internet, and become a millionaire overnight!" is an example of that technique because it assumes that trading on the internet would inevitably make you a millionaire; but this idea an exaggerated and a lacking real-data statement rather than a true one, because even though there are millionaires that trade on the internet, it does not necessarily mean that trading on the internet will make you a millionaire.
