Evaluating an Editorial

Question 7 • *CR Expository Reading and Writing S1 [E4250OX]

Which idea from the editorial is a bandwagon appeal?

Answer

"The school lunch policy bans sugary foods."

"Sweet treats should be offered in addition to the nutritious foods."

"Sweet treats should be allowed because they are made using sugar."

"Everyone likes sugar."

Explanation

A bandwagon appeal tries to persuade people by suggesting that something is popular or that everyone agrees with it. “Everyone likes sugar” uses that kind of claim, rather than giving a reason based on the school’s nutrition needs or policy.
