10. Understanding the advertisements on page 42.
Water

15. 3. Refresh water
A. Why are the first two lines written bigger than the rest of the advertisement?
These lines appear bigger so that they are the first thing people notice about the ad.

16. B. The advertisement says that when you buy two, they will give you two more at no extra cost. Does this mean the advertiser will lose money on the sale?

18. C. Why do advertisers often use the “Buy one get one free” message?
People love a bargain, so they are attracted to free offers and are more likely to buy the product if they think they are getting something for free.
