glittering generalities

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) No evidence is presented to support the argument.

Step-by-step explanation:

The advertisement is for a 'miracle' drug that can help people loose weight very quickly. The kind of language used in this advertisement is more for 'shock and attraction' than anything else.

The aim is to quickly grab the attention of people who might buy it. HOWEVER, the advertisements failed to provide any credible evidence or research into how it works and if has been endorsed by a medical professional.

The sentence ''Researchers have declared this fast-acting'' is misleading and does not provide any proof of a professional medical body, backing this pill.
