Evaluating Propaganda Techniques — Quiz

Question 4 • Language Arts 10

Why might a wealthy politician choose the plain folks technique in a campaign advertisement?

Answer
A
to connect with non-affluent people who will be voting in the election
B
to show that the candidate’s relatives have no government affiliations
C
to prove that the candidate is educationally qualified
D
to entice rich investors to contribute to the campaign

Explanation

The plain folks technique presents a candidate as an ordinary, relatable person. A wealthy politician might use it to connect with non-affluent voters and show that the candidate understands their concerns. The other choices describe family connections, qualifications, or fundraising rather than appealing as an everyday person.
