Read the following paragraph.The advertisement targets parents who could easily associate the children in the picture with their own children. In the ad, a mother and father are reading a book to their two young children. This has a positive connotation of intimacy and love. The image implies that reading is not just intellectually beneficial, but that it creates a closer bond between parents and their children. Because of this association technique, parents are persuaded to read to their children. Most parents certainly would want their children to do well academically and feel loved at the same time. Therefore, this ad effectively encourages literacy. Which of the following revisions will most likely improve this paragraph?
Answer
A
the addition of a stronger topic sentence
B
the inclusion of the ad’s purpose
C
the determination of the ad’s target audience
D
the evaluation of the ad’s technique
Explanation
The paragraph already identifies the target audience as parents, explains the ad’s purpose of encouraging literacy, and evaluates its association technique. Its opening sentence mainly describes who the ad targets, rather than clearly stating the paragraph’s central claim. A stronger topic sentence could state that the ad effectively encourages parents to read to their children by linking reading with family closeness.
