a. Glittering generalities
b. testimonial
c. plain folk
d. name calling
✔ Answer: a. Glittering generalities
👉 *Explanation:* Phrases like “freedom,” “justice,” “patriotism” are examples of glittering generalities — emotionally charged words that sound good but lack substance.
---
7. It occurs when pejorative words are used by an entity or a personality when talking about their rival.
a. Bandwagon
b. name calling
c. card stacking
d. testimonial
✔ Answer: b. name calling

c. bandwagon
d. testimonial
✔ Answer: c. bandwagon

---
10. “9 out of 10 children prefer CHOKONAT” is an example of _________.
a. Testimonial
b. bandwagon
c. plain folk
d. card stacking
✔ Answer: d. card stacking
👉 *Explanation:* This statistic appears to be a selective fact used to make the product seem superior. However, it’s more accurately card stacking because it highlights only positive data (even if the sample is biased).
> Note: Some might argue it's a *testimonial*, but since it’s a statistic rather than a personal endorsement, card stacking fits better here.
---
#### II. Identify the following propaganda techniques.
Now let’s analyze the images:
---
11. McDonald’s Hamburger Logo
→ Bandwagon
👉 *Explanation:* McDonald’s uses its iconic golden arches and claims “Over 95 billion served” — implying everyone eats there, so you should too. This plays on the bandwagon effect.
---
12. Image of a woman holding a Kopiko coffee packet
→ Testimonial
👉 *Explanation:* A real-looking person (possibly a celebrity or model) endorses the product. This is a classic testimonial — using someone’s reputation to influence others.
---
13. Starbucks cup with slogan: “The best coffee for the best YOU.”
→ Glittering generalities
👉 *Explanation:* Words like “best” and “YOU” appeal to self-image and emotion. No proof is given — just emotionally appealing phrases. That’s glittering generalities.
---
14. Milk carton labeled “NO TRANS FAT”
→ Card stacking
👉 *Explanation:* The ad focuses only on one positive feature (no trans fat) while avoiding other potential drawbacks (e.g., sugar content, cholesterol). This selective highlighting is card stacking.
---
15. Ad showing two chicken noodle soups: Progresso vs. Robert H. Thayer
With MSG? Or without?
→ Name calling
👉 *Explanation:* By contrasting “with MSG” and “without MSG,” the ad implies that MSG is bad, possibly calling the competitor's product harmful. This is name calling — associating the rival with a negative trait.
