Pretest

Question 5 • CMS 2026-2027 English III CREDIT RECOVERY

Which of the following slogans best exemplifies the flattery technique?

Answer
A
“You’re the best there is! Shouldn’t your breakfast cereal also be the best?”
B
“America’s newest obsession is bran—Morning Bran Cereal!”
C
“Do breakfast the right way, with Morning Bran Cereal!”
D
“Rise up, sleepy heads! It’s time for the best part of your day: Morning Bran Cereal!”

Explanation

Flattery tries to persuade people by complimenting them and linking that praise to the product. “You’re the best there is!” flatters the audience, then suggests they deserve the best cereal. The other slogans use an energetic greeting, a claim about the right choice, or popularity rather than direct praise.
