This is the celebrity endorsement of a philosophy, movement, or candidate. In political circles, movie stars, television stars, rock stars, and athletes lend a great deal of credibility and power to a political cause or candidate.

For example: LeBron James endorses his own line of Nike products to show that one of the best athletes of all time uses only the best products.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Advertisers often use words that stir up certain emotions in us. Sometimes, these words glitter and sparkle to attract our eye. They give a general or vague sense of what they are trying to sell. This type is used for their emotional value, not their logical value.

For example: An advertisement for spring water reads: “Pure, fresh, cold mountain spring water - bottled especially for you in Maine from only our purest mountain springs.”
